Nadine, you will stop at nothing to get me back to your house. I do like the Raspberry, yum yum. I am heading over to the boys to start my birthday party.

Happy Birthday!!!!...LOL..

I have had the raspberry for several years, its a GREAT plant you are going to LOVE it more than you already do

I was at flowerjunkie's house when I posted your happy birthday greetings! I also picked up few more gingers again...hahaha..

gothqueen***I have been enjoying collecting and growing gingers for a very long time...I just can't get enough of them for their beautiful flowers they give me all the time here..LOL

Yes me too, over 20 years worth of collecting, LOL. Its an addiction, isn't it?

YES!! it is...LOL...Trading is another story...that gets addicting too..lol...

Nadine, may I ask where you get your gingers? Absolutely beautiful curcuma. Lynn

Thanks for the happy birthdays. I have spent most of the day getting my Gingers in order. Nadine, thanks for coming up with the wood burning tool idea. We went to Wally world, got one and have been burning wooden stakes all day. No more chickens scratching out the little tags or sharpie markings fading.

LOL..I figure ya would go to town with that woodburning tool!!!. I find my gingers in all kinds of places...even at a grocery store! But most of all...is trading with another ginger plant nut!!..lol...

Thanks

Nadine, you got my attention with the Curcuma Raspberry Plume! Awesome. I now have a new gotta-have. Thanks for sharing.

I have looked up the Curcuma Raspberry Plume but can not find a picture that shows the true color as good as Nadine's picture. And Bward has it right, awesome.

Ya welcome!

Here is an updated pic of the C. Raspberry Plume flower..
