Welcome to the org, Hedychium. I'm sure you'll love it here; we're a fun group and obsessive about our bananas. Love to see pics of your plants...gingers too.

Hi Hedychium, welcome to the board! Ah..hedychiums, one of my favs. We have a couple of endemic species here and my absolute blue eyed boy is my 10 year old clump of Hedychium longicornutum.
