Drew, back in your series of new photos, you asked "anybody know what Ginger?" Now that I finally got a look at it, it might be Hedychium "Dr.Moy". It has pretty distinctive foliage with thin white 'splatters' on the leaves. You'll know for sure when it puts up a gorgeous orange-sherbet colored, fragrant flower.

It would be a terrible shame for you to have to prune back your gorgeous AeAe and relegate it to the garage for the winter. Are you sure you couldn't introduce it diplomatically to your Dw and let her fall in love with it, so she'd maybe . .. invite . . you to let it overwinter in the living room? Bet it has a nice high ceiling and good light, right?
