It could have been Ceil, but more likely Linda Gay, the director. They are both good friends, great ladies. Linda has been interested in gingers for many years and I know she gives a lot of talks to Master Gardener groups. BTW, for any of you Houston area people who might not already know this, Mercer Arboretum has one of the better collections of gingers in the country. Of course now is not the best time to see them, but go anytime from about May when the spring Curcumas are blooming through September or early October for the Hedychiums. They used to have an annual Ginger Workshop there, now expanded to a full tropicals workshop, I missed it this year but gave the talk on Costus there for past two years.
