Thanks for the info. about the gingers, All. I too whacked mine down to the ground when they looked ratty at the end of winter.

Chantell, I didn't have flowers my first year with them either. They just grew and multiplied. This is my second year with them, and if they didn't bloom for me this year, I was going to dig them up. LOL! Thankfully, they are putting on a show. Hang in there with them. They are worth waiting for.
