Zingiber vinosum Purple Leafed Ginger. The undersides of the leaves are seen and it is very spectacular.
Zingiber zerumbet Pine Cone Ginger.
I think we have this beat same old stuff as last year...

mobile botanical garden ginger list....
wow Larry that is quite a list. You talked me into a Curcuma Scarlet Fever. Can you get one for me pretty please??? Send me your mail addy and I will get the money off to you as soon as you tell me what I owe you. Just hang on to it until the next time you get over this way unless Janet or Jen wants to drop it off for me. Jens needs to come by anyway and pick up a few things here from you and me lol.
sure will... ely.. just get it to me when I see you I think I am going that way in the weekend after or after that weekend..LOL
ely
Larry,
I am going to KILL you if you buy a scarlet fever curcuma at the sale. I know how tempted you get when you see ALL the beautiful plants up close and personal, but you MUST refrain. I have been babying this booger for over a year for you, and you must have it in your garden!! If not, we may have to rename it as "larry's scarlet fever" L
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!
Janet
LOL well I will buy that one for donna and you can give me that one is that fair?
p.s. I have change my name to larrina
ely
I had scarlet fever for real... lost ten pounds best sickness I ever had...
gained it back though.... didn't work that good.
larrina
Larrina?????????
What's up with that??????
Sorry, I like Larry better.
you don't read in the tropical form enough
larrina aka ely aka larry
Oh, yeah, I read that.
O, Did I tell you that being 40 not only made me senile, but hard-headed as well???????? Larry?? Nope, can't say the whole Larrina thing. Forget it!!
ROFL!!
LOL...
ely
ROFL!!!!!!
=)
Larrina make that 2 or 3 Scarlet Fever curcumas pretty please pending how much they cost. I think the new ginger needs the bright colors don't you??? Is it one tuber per pot or does it come in a pot with more than one tuber in it??
That Zingiber vinosum purple leaf sounds so tempting too. Darn wish I didn't have all these hospital bills right now!!!!!
Larry,
If Bonnie or I don't go, would you mind getting me a costus maloreatins(step ladder costus)?? and a costus subsessllis bunny ears costus, if they have it?? I'll send you the money for it!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Guess what I did for you today Larry?????
Potted you up some baby Porphyrocoma pohliana. I had crushed some dried tops and had a bunch come up all around the edge of my pot. I saw you eyeballing it when you were here lol. I was able to collect seed from all the other dried tops too. Little buggers are like grasshoppers trying to seperate from the chaff. They were popping all over ROFL!!!!!

oh my good... I eyeballed everything.... ;)
ely...
donna I think I only had one problem I had to unload the car and I was meeting a friend from church to eat. I was suppose to get 4 of the zing, and I think I only got two. I was suppose to pick up some for another member that msg me...if that was the case would you mind splittling it?
ely
no problem Larry. You know I always share :-)
Larry.. when is this sale????
its passed....
ely
wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..... I was wanting to get another curcuma Emperor to replace the one that got left behind at old house Darn.. it would have been nice to add Dr. Moy and Scarlet Fever to the swamp as well... oh well..maybe next time... Do they have a sale in the fall??
yes they do...
I have an extra dr. moy you can have, and I pulled up some Emperors and put them somewhere. I am going to be heading to crestview, sometime this month if you want to meet up and I have tons of plants to get rid of.... They do have a fall sale and will mostlikely have the stuff there too they didn't have a big turn out cause of the weather.... The cooler spring dampened the size of the plants so alot of people like me were like "WHATEVER" I only walked out of there with two things, everything else I got was for everone else.
ely
Larry...
You will have to come and visit me and the swamp. We can drink iced tea and beat off the water moccasins... and you are welcome to dig up and cart home anything you don't have. I'm less than 2 miles from the interestate.
oh goodie..... I will let you know when I go that way or try to arrange it so we can meet...
larry
Oh Trish I forgot to tell you Tim almost got bit last week. He thought it was a pile of dog poo by my birdbath he was cleaning. It moved when it got splashed with water. Said it was about 8" from his foot. That's to close but
it's history now. He came and got me to take pics first lol
danggggg.... ewwwww.. what type of snake is it?
ely
the kind you are gonna play with down in the swamp. The poisionous kind, Water Moccasin. I get them in my yard because of the stagnet pond in the neighbors yard. They come to eat at my feeders and sunbath on my board walk. I beat one to death with a broom handle while I videoed it one time lol. That's why I alway say to watch out when going through my yard remember. I told you to watch out for snakes!!! I also have Garter, King, Black, Green, and Glass Snakes
