These are so bright. I love them. This flower is a bit tattered from the rain, but still pretty.
Firey Costus

Calalily, do you know the botanical name of this beauty?
Thanks,

Costus igneus
Oh my gosh that is beautiful! I love costus the best. Wanna trade?
Thanks!
Weeds, sure I can trade, but it needs to make some babies first.
OK, do you have costus pulverulentus?
Whata Color!Whew!
Settle down Root, it is just a plant.(kidding)
Weeds, no, I don't have that one. It's got the weird little orange pod like bloom doesn't it?
Well, yes.
Here is a pic of it. Not too flattering but it has since grown to about 5 ft and is wonderful.
Wow, a big ginger! OK, how and when do you divide a costus? Where is Lisa?
My costus spread just like any ginger, like butterfly. I dig up roots or what ever you call them. They need room to spread. Some of mine are huge and just lovely.
a dang rabbit ate mine...caught him in the act!
CC, did you make rabbit stew out of him?
lol cala!
Naw....it was a baby,all I'd get was a rabbit mcnugget.....
