are there besides Greenii?? Found this in the swamp.. had to have brought it from the old place..
What red-backed hedychium gingers
hmmmmm I don't know. Larry probably does
HMMMM that doesn't look like H. greenii to me.... Interesting!
That's a pretty one Trish.
I don't recall seeing it for sale at N.O. or Mobile, if I did I would've bought that one!!
I have a costus that has purple under the leaves like that called blood red spiral, but haven't seen the curcuma like that.
Beautiful plant!!

Okay Larry... or Barbara.. waiting for you two to weigh in on this one. I might end up having to wait till it blooms to make an ID.. and it doesn't look like that is going to happen for a while yet.
hmmmm could this possibly be Zingiber zerumbet ... anyone have one that could check the backside of the leave for me??
Trish I think that one looks like the Zinigber Larry got for me at the MBG sale Will see if I posted what I wanted on the thread or go look at the list he posted on the thread
O.K. is it Zingiber vinosum purple leaf ginger??

no, don't think that is it Donna.. this one had to come with me from Jax so it is an older variety
something says to me Zingiber

ely.. we or *I* do not deduct for spelling... as long as I can make it out.. that is all that matters to me... LOL... my spelling is horrid... I have a spell check but don't even bother with it.. which I should!
I agree with Zingiber... what about zerumbet
