Thanks for the photos Greene. I was wondering about that plant and your photos are better than a description.

Skylark, it probably doesn't last as long as Florida but we endure many 90 to 100 degree days in the summer with humidity in that same range. 96 degrees today with oppressive humidity.

If you do find anymore ginger information, I will be glad to look at it. I love
all the different sites and get lost wandering through them. Thanks...

I thought this summer in the ground might cause the plant to develop. Rather like fish that remain one size according to their aquarium and when moved to a larger environment, they actually grow larger.

I really should take a current photo to compare but the only difference I notice is the leaves are healthier. In a container, the plant was root
bound and nutrient deprived.

It won't be long before I dig up a division and pot it to overwinter it in the greenhouse. I am only doing that so as not to lose the plant to a hard winter.

Now, off to Bambooland...
