here is part of a list that I grow here..have to find my disk w ginger pics in it..
Curcuma
Longa-Olena-cooking ginger
Amethyst
Figi
Panama Purple
Purple Gusher
Purple Prince
Raspberry Plume
Scarlet Fever
Sullee Rainbow
Rainbow
Flaviflora-Red Fireball
elata-Giant Plume
Petiolata-'Emperor'- variegated leaves
Band of Gold
Anybody grow Hedychiums or Alpinias???...LOL...
I can trade other names gingers with others after the gingers goes dormant..easier on the shipping dept.

Pinecone Shampoo gingers- You can use those cones to wash your hair and use on your body!! Just cut the cones and put in freezer bags to save to use..When I take them out to use,defrost the cone, and I have a tiny hole mesh bag to put them in so I dont get any debris in my hair that comes out of the cones. Sometime little bugs hide in the creases of the cones..hope nobody freaks out when that happens..just part of nature..lol

Now this is a nice collection and hope you are able to find the pics!!! Would love to see them!!! Not sure if I have anything that would interest you, but would love to do some trading with you!!! If and when you have time, please pm me and lets discuss this!!! I need to do a little more research on the ones you have to see which ones would do well in my more "arctic" conditions!!!

Jananas Bananas · 09-12-2009, 09:01 AM

My "Aussie Plume" curcuma is blooming. It has bloomed twice for me so far. None of my others have done anything yet.

No blooms currently on any of these.
Heliconia flavum and Heliconia coccineum a hybrid "Dr. Moy" pretty upright variegated plant though.
Heliconia psittacorum "Golden Torch" this one bloomed twice but I didn't get pictures.

Heliconia Rostata "Lobster Claw" no blooms.

I have a little delicate yellow flower globba schomburgkii- very sensitive - doesn't like heat, doesn't like cold - but her babies are coming in stronger than she is.

I have a few others, but I am still sipping coffee and waking up - and realized I am rambling - Sorry! ~JaNan

austinl01 · 09-12-2009, 10:39 PM

Randy, these pics were taken a couple weeks ago.

I don't think the dancing lady is considered a curcuma, but here she is anyway.

And, here is my spiral ginger finally starting to grow.

Moodene · 09-13-2009, 09:41 PM

I just picked up few more gingers over the weekend!!...lol...

You have got to post some pics of your collection. I have been looking up some of the ones that you have listed and cant find some and would love to see the plant as well as the bloom when possible!!!

Moodene · 09-14-2009, 12:00 PM

Here is a link to a site that I research alot from. I use this one for information on how to grow,divide, and propagation of diff types of gingers..
Le Jardin Ombrag Ginger Home Page

I havent bought any of them from him in few years since alot of gingers are popping up at nurseries near me...

Bananaman88 · 09-14-2009, 12:19 PM

Great job with that C. zedoaria, Randy! Mine never bloomed this year for some reason.

southlatropical · 09-14-2009, 03:49 PM

I guess what I have is also zedoria. It has the burgundy color on the stems also. There are several blooming right now.

Butterfly ginger = Hedychium ginger
Hidden ginger = Curcuma ginger
Dancing ginger = Globba ginger
Peacock ginger = Kaempferia ginger
Galangal = Galangal
Common cooking ginger = Zingiber officinale
