Ann, I am surprised you don't have any Paw Paws. They are wild here and come up everywhere. I would certainly be happy to share some with you, either plants or seeds. Although I am not sure when they will seed out. Never watched for it.
Sherri, glad to hear the twin flowers are showing for you and given time you will have many more. Mine also are starting to bloom and will go on all summer. The obedients here are also up but too early to bloom. I have to be careful when I am pulling out goldenrod as their growth structure is very similar to obedients. The obedients have a more scalloped leaf than the goldenrod. I pull the goldenrod as they are hogs. A few years ago I let them have their space as any color was better than no color. But they took advantage of my generosity and moved into all the gardens without remorse.
As for the ginger....which one did I bring for you? In any event, even filtered sunlight would be fine. The only ginger I have that wanted more light was the butterfly ginger and I think that one was complaining because the azaleas were hogging everything...light, water and space. So I moved the ginger this spring. Hopefully I will get some blooms this year on that one.
Ann!!! you had rain yesterday? I and my gardens are so envious. My dirt roads are still a large dust bowl.
Oh my, I just looked at the Zebra Swallowtail picture. I have been calling them a longwing all this time and thanks to yall, I know different and that the pawpaw is the host plant. See, you can teach an old dog new tricks. LOL
