On the other hand..I found a variety Cautleya spicata "Robusta" that has a lot of character, color and flowers predictably in summer..but the most amusing part was the tag that came with it: "Be forwarned - growing this plant can lead to obsessive and unreasoning mania for the hardy Zingerberaceae. Oh sure you laugh - how can I be entrapped by something I can't even pronounce? Put it in moist soil that drains and try no to love the orange-yellow torch-like flowers. Must have"
