Genna, 86 and climbing now, with 73% humidity. It's like a sauna. No rain in a few days, but it threatens every evening.

OP, the variegated plant is Shell Ginger, (Alpinia zerumbet) It bloomed for me last year, but nothing like the regular ginger bloom. See below. It's a great plant, but can get large here if the winter stays mild. About 7 feet, until the winter knocked it to the ground. It is coming back with no problem, but is only about 2' tall now.

The raspberry coneflower is new this year. And I love the Pow Wow, it is in its 3rd season for me. Spreading around nicely.

Spent an hour and a half this morning, trying to get out the rest of a pallet of mulch. Just 3 bags left, and I will finish that up tomorrow! Yea!
