Ginger – Zingiber officinale

Earlier in the spring (February) we planted some supermarket ginger rhizomes (Zingiber officinale) to establish new ginger plants for the tropical greenhouse.

These have not only established very well but are now in full flower.  Sadly the flowers last for only a short while.
