Hope all of you haven't abandoned this thread. I have a question about one of my hedychiums. I have a huge clump of the cultivar 'Dr. Moy' which is a lightly variegated one with pale orange flowers and a lovely scent. This is the 3rd or 4th year I've grown them, and they've always been beautiful and dependable.

This year, they are much taller than they've ever been - usually they're 4 to 5ft. but this year nearly 7ft. Also they're making stems with different variegations. See pics.

I'm just wondering if any of you have grown this type, and if you've seen the variegation change like this?
This is how they normally look, the usual variegation and flower.

Here are a couple of the different sports I'm seeing this year.
