Nice!

My first and only ginger is a Luna Moth, and it's just starting to flower.

Question: Are gingers in any way related to orchids? Some of the flowers certainly remind me of orchid flowers I've seen.

Also, the Hedychium family of gingers, are they edible like the ones used in cooking? Or are they just ornamental?

Thanks!
