ScotTi said: This one stays at the top of my favorite list 'Red Bull'
Unbelievable that "red bull" (Hi Scot) is exactly, if not extremely close to my big ginger!!! Lovely lovely thing and certainly one of my absolute favs. If its enormous thats it! Its been around here for years and years. I first saw it in the early 80's myself. It was one of the stalwart Cordylines here, along with a shocking pink and what appears to be Red Lady, Cemetery and a brilliant narrow leaf red, the best red by far I've ever seen ......besides perhaps one in Singapore at the Orchid Garden entrance which was red and black streaks, medium size.
Here is my new C.fruticosa, sorry the picture absolutely doesn't do it justice and I have a better top shot but that will have to wait for tomorrows download. It was also dusk, but It shows the form quite nicely though. It's interesting because I've never seen one with a stripe down the centre of the leaf like this, also the form is different which I like. Its in its pot in the nursery section here, I will grow it up tall so I can get cuttings to stick in the garden and make a decent show. It also has a bright white line down the very centre of the topside which you can't see in this picture.....
