Thank you Skylark. Those are some nice links you shared. I have always loved the Floridata site. I agree the foliage looks very similar to the Zingiber officinale or common ginger. The fragrance is definitely ginger also.
Even after planting them in the ground for the summer, these plants are lucky to be 12 to 14 inches tall. Both the ginger and galangal appear to grow much taller. The roots are small and similar to the Galangal. Does anyone know what fragrance Galangal foliage has?
I am glad to see this ID quest surface again. I was looking at this plant last night and still wondering what I have. Thanks, Kristi
