The rosemary is on a ledge six feet above the ginger, and I've actually never watered it...although it's an old old plant. It gets winter rain (when we are lucky to have it) and sometimes overflow from an orange tree being watered. The ginger is at the end of a concrete vale that gets all my shower water, so it has lots of moisture. But this problem does occur yearly, at least in recent years.
The ginger never bloomed until I started fertilizing it, and I wonder if this problem might be connected with that.
