Kell - thanks so much for your kind words. I am on the frugal side LoL - that is why I try to grow my own flowers.

Do you know what kind of ginger you have? The Dr. Moy is a Hedychium and they are supposed to have fragrant flowers. This is the leaf of the Dr. Moy. As you can see - a really healthy specimen, but no blooms. This is the one that flowered when moved to a sunnier location. But I have also read that gingers like a lot of fertilizer (can't remember what percentages of the NPK at the moment) - and I fertilize at best once a year, most times, every other year. So, maybe some gingers are more finicky in that respect than others?
