  2. Hi Evelyn,
    Hey, that's a beautiful bloom! Mine is blooming for the first time in 3 years, so I'm thrilled.
    Congratulations on the Illuminated blogger award. You deserve it and it's always fun to visit here.

    Thanks for passing it on. I will take a look this summer and read about it. :0) You're sweet to think of me.

    I'm still in school for ONE MORE WEEK and can't even get outside to look at my own garden! Ugh.
    Will write soon.

  3. Ohhhh..
    That is truly a beauty.
    I had seen the plant in many places - planted by the roadside and parks but never seen their blooms.
    These looks so much like orchids.

  5. David, this ginger flowers on the second year growth. so if it freezes you will have to wait two years for blooms. This past winter was mild, so we have flowers :)
