Thank you, looks like you guys have a lot of fun on this forum :)
The picture is of a group of my very favorite ginger Costus barbatus, I just love it! The red part is the inflorescence and the blooms are the yellow tubluar guys poking out from the brcts of the inflorescence. Hummingbirds like them as much as I do, and the undersides of the leaves feel like bunny ears! The blooms are edible, I've eaten quite a few, just plck them off and pop themin my mouth, yummy :) Below is a picture of a close up next to my hand so that you can see how big the inflorescence can get.
I have an AOL photo album with about 700 pictures, if anyone would like to see it just email me your regular email address and I will end it to you.
I have 2 reg email addresses:
Leneobrien@aol.com
Liz@gingerlandtropicals.com
The album will be sent from my AOL addy.
