Hi Robert, When are you coming up to our place? We're having an Open House again this weekend. How is your Corallinum doing? Mine have stopped sending up inflorescence and are beginning to ripen, hoping for some more seeds.

| I have tried several here, in the ground, over the years. Rubens, officinale, zerumbet, and mioga. Only mioga has survived winter. Rubens was very beautiful and vigorous and of all I tried, I was the most disappointed to lose it. Mioga is hardy, but very plain looking. I have tried several Curcumas, Kaempferias and even a Globba without any luck. Well,I must correct myself, I do currently have an unnamed Curcuma I received in trade that has survived since about 1999 or 2000. I wish some of the really big ginger species were hardy. |

| Why would anybody who likes gingers leave out the most beautiful genus? Kaempferias survive in North Carolina given a little protection. Liz and Richard's gingerland tropicals are just South of you in Anthony Florida. visit them @gingerlandtropicals.com kaempferiaguy |
