After seeing Mz M's posting on the photo forum of her blue ginger I was just in awe of the beauty! I love gingers in fact, I have a passion for gingers!! I have a cat named Ginger, I used to like Ginger on Gilligan's Island (snicker) and who could forget..Ginger Rogers and that yummy ginger bread man?? Oh yeah, we are talking about plants..sorry I got off a little bit there..heh heh..so do you grow gingers? What kind do you have? I am so fortunate to grow them in the ground here. They really shine in our heat and right now is the peak time for them. Tell me about your gingers...
Ginger lovers step up!

and I have hidden ginger also LISA!!! (thanks to Mzm!) Hope to get more also of different kinds! (as for other gingers....don't forget Ginger ale...and Jamaican Style Ginger Beer!) The rhizomes M sent me I potted up and keep mostly in the g-house cuz of our cold winters. They are all doing great!
