How tall is yours? The PDB shows Dancing Girl Ginger.
I have a Dancing Lady Ginger that is only about 2' tall, in fact I have it in a hanging basket.
It is in the genus of Globba.
Scroll down on this link to the family.

Linda, i've been out a lot this year due to health reasons. i am much better these days. yeah i miss posting too. u know i love to search the www. it is always nice to give a helping hand. i do not have any globba ginger... only hedychiums [white and yellow] which has not bloomed for me yet. i've been so badly sick, i practically neglected my plants. not on purpose though :(.

The ones in the co-op were called "White Dragon". Sorry JT, I just saw this.

Thanks everyone.I do remember getting White Dragon now that the name has been mentioned.
Smocktte and MaVie,thanks for the links.
Smockett the plants are just over a foot tall.They are still in gallon pots and were not given much care since the tags had faded.
