Kyle
Very pretty Lisa. Thanks for sharing the pictures.
Patti
They are both beautiful!!
WOW!!! love the roscoeana. My emporer is just sending up a bloom spike now as well
Wow! That is beautiful Lisa. Where do you find this neat stuff?
My Emperor met a terrible fate yesterday, it ran into my shovel. It didn't mean to get in the way, it just happened while I was planting another flower.(at least I didn't blame it on Bleu)
Lisa, where in the world did you find that roscoeana? That is a beaut! Do you have to greenhouse this one?
Kay
thanks folks!
Kay & Susie,
I find all my stuff from our growers. Funny thing, they don't sell for me. No one in my area gives a hoot about gingers. I have all these wonderful plants and no one to appreciate them, so I show them to ya'll!
Kay, this one doesn't need a greenhouse for my zone. It is hardy in zone 9-11
Do you have these plants under full sun or partial shade? Because your plants are looking very healthy.... mine are not like yours....
Kaleem
hi Kaleem,
Roscoeana gets filtered sun and the Variegated Emperor gets med. sun. both seem to be happy. We have about 97%-100% humidity year round, so I think this makes them happy too!
Oh.... mine are under direct sun....thank you so much for the tips.

Lisa, it is just gorgeous. I am just starting my ginger addiction, and everytime I see one, it is prettier than the one I loved before! That one is just outstanding.
Lisa, beautiful plant and photo. Wished I lived in zone 9.
Lisa thats beautiful. That's why you need to sell online. They might not sell there but you can bet they would sell to all us that would love to have them and even haul them in for the winter. lol
