Hedychium gardnerianum, or Kahili ginger
is another invasive. Takes more than 50%
of my gardening time removing it from the
forest. Again another beautiful plant, unfortunately
a ginger spread by small peppercorn size seeds,
becoming epiphytic in the rainforest, and can
tolerate frost conditions. Yikes!!!
