extranjera said:That last picture with the red cones looks like a shampoo ginger, Zingiber zerumbet. It's pointy-er than mine and a bit redder but looks like it. If you run your hand along the bloom a clear liquid will come out that you can wash your hair with. I tried it one time in our outside shower, it didn't lather much but my hair felt ok and it smelled good.


It is Zingiber zerumbet. I just can't remember the names until someone reminds me of them. Sticking tongue out

Thanks for giving me a heads up
