Just an update on my little pursuit of ginger. I had originally planted two rhizomes, one with one upright
stem and one with two. It took a long time, but the two stemmed one finally sent up a sprout, the tip of it
showing up exactly six weeks ago, today. It could not quite keep up the initial pace of a new leaf each week,
so today it has only 5 still rather small leaves.

Unfortunately the single stemmed one did not make it beyond producing a tiny green tip and then fold.

This thing better make it, because all my hopes for maintaining a line of Costus Spicatus rest on it now.
