Default Re: Ginger Identification

Good job Randy. There is a possibility that #5 is something other than Zedoaria. There are several other Curcumas with a maroon stripe like Inodora and Aeruginosa. I have all three and if I didn't have tags in the ground, I would forget which are which without seeing the blooms. The Costus could also be Spicatus if the seller said it was hardy in Zone 8. Tough to tell without blooms.
