Hi Pam,
speaking of Penticton being dryer than Vancouver, I have a flowering ginger, which I have
nursed now for 2½ years along under “drying conditions”. I would really like to foster it
off to somebody in the Lower Mainland, since I am not really prepared to pamper it through
another winter. It is now finally starting to get ready to bloom. The problem is, that I am
not planning to drive down there anytime soon and if, I would not know whom to give it
to. It appears to me, that you have all the facilities (actually down there non are required
other than a bit of warmth during winter) to accommodate it. So if you want it and know
somebody, who
plans to visit the Okanagan anywhere south of Kelowna, I would be able to deliver it there.

More about how I got it and what it looks like here:
My quest for ginger
I started the thread so it is just in the first few posts

I also have several small M. Ornata to give away. They are small enough for anybody’s
living room, even in an apartment, graceful and actually have done for me better indoors
than outside (the sun shining on the pots make it too hot).

How I got the Ornata and what they look like “at home” you can see here:
I Think I Scored a Coup (I was still relatively new to bananas
then, and had never heard of a banana small enough for living rooms)

And here is what they look like in a more protective environment:

I just have now too many of them. That goes for Basjoos too, but you probably have some
of those already.

Best,
Olaf
