Kay,

Didn't see your post before posting about CMP. All of my Zingibers are up but they were all later than the last two years. CMP is the only Zingiber that I have that is sending up inflos. Still waiting for first time blooms on Stenophyllus, Midnight, and Jewel Pagoda and a couple of more in which I have lost the identification tags.

Chiang Mai Princess must have been watching me type. A shoot was up this morning.

Cross your fingers for me on the other one. I did dig it up carefully and take a look. It's not mushy but very small.
