I have a white butterfly ginger that I bought last year. Over the winter it died back, but I remembered the pot that it was in and just left it out there exposed. This spring, the green started coming back up. It's been getting taller and taller and finally last week, I saw the beginning of the buds on 2 of the stalks. Late last week the bloom opened up. The plant is against my white vinyl siding and I almost missed it. As a matter of fact, I would have missed it had I not walked by and smelled it. Even though it was at the end of it's bloom cycle last year when I bought it, I don't remember it smelling so heavenly. I just remember how pretty the bloom was.

I moved the plant to get some photos last week. Then moved it back where it was when at the end of the day, the bloom looked worse for my actions. My granddaughter loved the smell of it and wanted to pluck off the bloom.
