Yes,
Russell is a good friend of ours and he has closed down Gainesville Tree Farm as he's spending quite a bit of time with his family and working very hard for a very large company doing a lot of design work.
He is only available now to those of with his private cell number :)
We stay in touch with him and he's been out to our place but, he doesn't get out much any more, although he is still traveling and collecting.
Russell is still the most knowledgeable person I know, especially when it comes to gingers. there isn't a plant that you can't ask him about. And he's also one of the nicest people I know, so it's a wonderful combo, I think.
On the Kaempferia: elegans blooms don't look like that and since blooms are how plants are classified, it is some form of pulchra. roscoeana is notorious for cross pollinating with others and diminishing in the garden so all that is left are these 'hybrids', Russell taught me that.
