we got plants & corms yesterday in mail while I was at work, they got potted this morning after soil mix had time to warm over night inside!!

Was chatting with a another plant growing feind this morning he asked if the white butterfly ginger can be eaten? I'm not sure as got for bloom.

Thanks Again,
Dan & Tara, kids

It's not the edible ginger from what I understand, its grown for its ornamental foliage.
But glad you got your package, feedback forthcoming right away for you guys!
Cheers

if you are talking about Hedychium coronarium here is what some of my references say:

Flowers: Young buds & flowers are eaten or used as a flavoring [Plants for Human Consumption, Cornucopia:A Source Book of Edible Plants].

Roots: cooked. A famine food used when all else fails [Plants for Human Consumption]

of course it always pays to check multiple references, especially if you are unsure.

All parts of all Gingers can be eaten. Some are have better flaver than others. Some are best for their roots and some are better for their flowers. I do not remember which ones sre best for what.
