Ginger is gone. Elaine

I need a few low growing, winter dormant gingers such as globbas or curcumas. Topping my wish list is curcuma khymer orange. To trade I have globba schomburgkii, curcuma figi, kaemperfia gilbertii, kaempeferia rotunda raven, kaempferia silver spot, hedychium angustifolia peach, hedychium kewense, hedychium daniel weeks, heliconia rostrata, heliconia jacquinii, heliconia red yellow gyro, costus spicata, costus purple stem, alpinia nutans, alpinia purpurata pink, alpinia purpurata red, lots of bananas, bromeliads, aroids, cannas etc. If you have an uncommon low growing ginger let me know what your looking for, possibly we can work something out as I have been collecting for years now.

Tom, it doesn't have a fragrance as far as I can tell and I haven't noticed any butterflies or hummingbirds around it. Most of the butterflies and huumingbirds that visit my yard stay in the front garden where the majority of the flowering plants are growing. Carpar, I have one similar to that one as well. For a comparison in size the leaves on the emperors are about 3 times as wide as the ones on my Siam Tulip curcumas which is what I believe the one in your photo is called. They're also at least twice the height. On the other hand the blooms on the siam are much showier then the emperors! This post was edited by karalynn on Mon, Jul 15, 13 at 11:56
