These are the pink shell gingers. These willl bloom to yellow lady-slipper looking. they are about 10-12 feet tall. I want to plant some more of a varigated variety. Any suggestions?

Gingers in my garden
I have white butterfly ginger, it flowers in October and grows to about 2 feet high.

I love the shell gingers! They are awesome. My variegated one is in part shade and is doing really good.
My Evergreen Wisteria kept most of their leaves even though it snowed on them. They are covered with buds now.
My Varegated Shell Ginger has almost open buds now. The Butterfly Ginger is a bit slower.
I'm pretty new to gingers. I have one, kaempferia gilbertii. It's almost a groundcover, mostly just foliage that is very like hostas (but unlike hostas, they don't mind our heat.) This picture is from last year, it's just now poking its head through the soil.
Maggie, that is beautiful. Gonna have to check that one out. :-)
