who likes gingers?

Foley, AL

which ones do you like the best?

Keaau, HI(Zone 11)

I like the white Hedychium coronarium...in fact, all the Hedychiums. Most of the Alpinas are too big for me...but the greenii is great, not so invasive.

Crestview, FL(Zone 7b)

hmmm let me see.. I love the globbas although not crazy how prolific they are with their little seeds. Curcumas are my favorite for their huge foliage. The Hedychium for the mostly fragrant flowers that they have. The spiral and pinecone ginger just for their unusualness. Gosh I love them all. It would be hard for me to pick just one as each one has wonderful qualities.

Niceville, FL(Zone 8b)

Love em all!!!! Especially my curcuma cordata.

Brewers, KY(Zone 6b)

bad ginger junkie here, globbas are my favorites by far. I can't have enough!

San Antonio, TX(Zone 8a)

I love the smell but I know nothing about them. I have three now and I am just waiting for them to bloom. All I can think of is the one we used to collect in Hawaii when we were having luaus. By the time we got it home we were intoxicated from the fragrance. Wonderful.

Franklin, LA(Zone 9b)

i've only got c. zedoarias
but i love them!!
that foliage.. *sigh*
it's great
even though they didnt bloom for me this year :/
the leaves are beautiful enough for me to want to keep them
hehe

The only ones blooming for me so far is the cordata and the hedychiums. Oh, and the costus.

Is there anyone out there that would be willing to part with the fragrant Hawaiin Ginger. I don't know the name but if you are ginger addicts you may know.
I would pay postage if you have any to share.

Are you talking about the hedychium coronarium, white butterfly ginger? Very sweet fragrance. If that is what you want, I can spare a rhizome.
