are you the one I d-mailed Don't pay attention to the flower it s just next to it. You know what that is blood lilly from your pic I thinking its what you have. Bought last year I bought a bunch of plants from lowes they thinking there dead me thinking they will come back not bad for a quarter lol It says curcuma so I know this much just don't know what flavor lol
Yes I am..but I wanted to post on here to let others know..so we can still keep racking our poor brains to figure this ginger out...and it could not be a ginger either...mmm...lol
Maybe have to wait for it to flower then it will be easy
Yes!! that would be a big help...LOL...
I was just looking at it again has a sticker on the pot says curcuma and uder that it says small print petiolata which i just looked up not this either its not verigated came from homestead fla big nurserys there
Don't ya just hate when the labels are all wrong and we have to research it to find the correct name to plants!!!...
People in those nurserys but don't make minium wage nor can they read english thats how they put It happens lol
whoa
Whatever that is, it sure is pretty. I've never seen a ginger with leaves like that but then, I didn't know there were so many different kinds.
I know each year its a different plant I am hunting last year it was plumerias this year gingers and bamboo next year who knows lol I have some coming from thailand called splash there are interesting. Never knew there were so many different kinds.
Well, now I want them all...
OK its starting to flower very nice color
Heres another shot
OOOhhhh nice dark color one!!!..I hope so..wish ...wish... wish..LOL....the leaves are more pronouce in the variegation part!!
Its a keeper for sure when the flower gets bigger I'll put another pic thanks for looking

Thank you would like to know the name so I can find a few more
Any updates on this puppy growing?? mmm..not even a name yet..huh???
The flower got a little taller I have a picture of it last year I dug up and it was not verigated go figure. I take alot of pictures and look back from time to time
Did you ever find out the name to the ginger yet? ...LOL...Did it come back this year?
It looks to be a variegated sport of Curcuma "purple prince" but would really need to see a closeup of the actual flower to know for sure.
Hi Scott it is slow coming up this year I can tell it by the verigated leaves I put it in the ground think it did better when i left it in the pot. But as late as it is in the year here it has hasn't been up long just 2 little leaves starting 3 inches long. When it decides to get going I will post another picture of it thanks ....Dana
