Alpinia, Japanese Ginger 'Extra Spicy' (Alpinia japonica)

When it came back after it's 2nd winter, it had lost alot of its variegation, as shown here. Gets 2 hrs late morning sun.

Bloom just opening, early April. The plant did not get frozen to the ground this winter for the first time, so I imagine that's why it's blooming.

The entire plant, in April after a pretty rough winter & you can see the "burnt" leaf edges. About 3' across and 3' high. Blooming like mad!
