I bought various gingers years ago and now I'm trying ID them. Can anybody help me ID the following three?
Fred
need some more help
Costus woodsonii for #1
2 is Shampoo Ginger/Pinecone Ginger Zingiber Zer.......
3 looks like Hedychium coccinea
Couldn't find any red Hydychium coccinea but Red Butterfly Ginger, Scarlet Ginger
Hedychium greenii seems like a better match even though the plant files show something less red then mine.
Now I have another problem. This plant resembles a blue ginger but I didn't plant it and it sort of looks like a weed among my Ixora. I do have blue ginger about 200 ft away behind the house in fairly deep shade. They are tall and have big blooms. Can the plant shown here be a blue ginger? Or what?
yes it is blue ginger(not true ginger) is Dichorisandra thyrsiflora
Donna,
the Pic where the ixora also grows?
yes Fred
