I have lots of Hedychium 'Dr Moy' and 'Butterfly' blooming away, and a new one to me Hedychium greenii. It seems to be confused, and is making baby plants on the flower heads. Confused

Several different costus incl. a new white one Costus speciosa that bloomed for the first time from a mystery cutting. The friend that gave me the next pic calls it Rainbow Costus.Some leaves are super-variegated with cream and pink stripes, and some are quite plain dark green with red reverses. Flowers are yellow/red striped pipes.

Love these white Curcuma with the little purple flowers in the bracts. Last is my favorite ground cover Kaempferia or Peacock Ginger
