anyone have any of these?
lol - I didnt think so.... I saw this in a catalogue, and I just thought I'd see if anyone I knew grew any of these...
I was thinking that some of our Florida people might be into these.
Pebble, i don't usually grow plants that don't come back from winter... just starting getting a few gingers....there are some beauties around here, one nursery specializes in them.
Arlene, the plants were so exotic looking that they didnt even look real.....I dont even know how I hooked into this site that had these.
And I'm with you, want my plants to come back every year. I did get some gingers last year, I didnt dig them up - do you think they will have survived the winter, to tell you the truth, it didnt get that cold here this year, maybe 25 a couple of days..
so what site was it???

Arlene and tiG
I have one of the Costus barbatus...AKA Red tower Ginger....I'm bring it to the FL swap.
Pebble,
I have a 2 small Aristolochia, don't know which one it is cause it was just labeled "Dutchman's Pipe" which consists of several different kinds. You are welcome to one of them if you don't care which kind it is. They are basically all the same with a little difference on each.
well now.....if you are sure you want to loose one...
e-mail me and let's work out a trade
