Hello everyone, these are not my plants, but they are someone who I met today and he is moving to The Phillipines and leaving the US. He at one time had a huge ginger nursery and has collected almost 200 varieties. These are what he has left. He is a great guy trying to get rid of everything he has before he moves and has dropped his price to $6.00 per pot (most have 1 rhizome per pot) I would be willing to take orders and to ship to you for shipping costs if you are interested. The only thing I ask is depending on how many people order I would like some reimbursement for gas as I have to drive over an hour to pick these up. Some of these are amazing and not offered very often so I thought I would share the opportunity. I myself got over 20 from him today! Just reply or PM me if you're interested. I figured I would take orders through Sunday and then Monday I could go pick up what everyone wanted and ship out hopefully Monday or it would be a week from Monday as I work Tues, Wed, Thurs next week! He isn't shipping these, he's only selling locally, so let me know if you're interested!

Hey he's not actually shipping at all, but I'll go and pick them up and ship if you send me a list. I do pond plants too! I have over 100 varieties and I'm trying to get rid of some LOL! So, I was thinking to do this if you send me a list I'll send it to him he can let me know what he has so I know a total then you can paypal me the money and I'll withdraw it and pay him cash :D Let me know!

Kat, thanks for offering to pick up these gingers and then ship them out. That's a huge task. I hope anyone that orders will chip in and help pay for your gas and as a token of appreciation buy a couple of gingers for you too!

I know a few people PMed me about these, but I haven't gotten lists. Please PM me tonight so I can try to get paypal requests out. I'm not sure that I'll make it tomorrow now as its so late, so it might be on Friday as I work Tues Wed Thurs!

As if this wasn't a tempting enough deal, the price is now being lowered to 4.00 a piece! I am going to have to go Friday and get myself some, therefore I don't mind getting some for other people. List I originally listed still applies but not sure what will be left. So, if you send me a list I'll email him and I'm sure he will hold them. Let me know! I also would be willing to hold them/store them here (only if they're hardy to zone 8b/9) for you if you buy them now and I will ship them out in the spring (my fee a rhizome out of the pot!) My thoughts behind this is they are going dormant so they won't need water through the winter as it would rot them and I can put them in my back yard and they won't take much time soooo let me know :D Also, shipping could be paid whenever I ship them out in the spring :-)

OK ginger growers, a question or twp for you. I have a number of gingers here in my z7 location. Only the Dancing Crane mioga is kept outside all year, and that is the only one that blooms! I pot up the others (hedychium, curcuma, alpinia), and keep them in the family room over the winter as the foliage is beautiful. I thought they bloomed on old tissue. Anything I should be doing that I'm not?

Are we talking about true Zingiber (Ginger) species (http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/splist.pl?13047), or members of the genetic Zingiber Tribe (http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/gnlist.pl?2366), or the larger Linnaean (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linnaean_taxonomy) taxonomical family of plants Zingiberaceae (http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/gnlist.pl?1208), or just any flowering plant that has the appearance of Gingers??

I'm not familiar with the taxonomy but the varieties listed are from Curcuma, Alpinia, Kaempferia, Hedychium, and also Zingiber. I am getting ready to post a list of the complete whats available as I found an investor for my nursery and now have purchased all of the gingers! I'm willing to do the same price for them if anyones interested. List to follow.
