Inca Sun is about to bloom. So many blooms on this plant. The flower itself is only so-so but this one makes up for it with sheer volume.
Quick - Duck! They're about to bloom
Mountain Treasure. Dependable even in the heat of summer.
Creamsickle. A very large flower.
This is what's planted around Creamsickle. Anyone know what's wrong with that Ginger? I've never had one before, so I may be abusing it without knowing it.
Mary, your plants are beautiful! I love the fern, is it maiden hair fern? Beautiful foxglove too...is it perhaps too shady for the ginger, or is it newly planted? Mine always look a bit tatty just after I plant them, mind you, I have always left them in a pot too long!
Thanks for sharing the pictures of your pretty garden.
Beautiful pictures. Looks to me like your ginger has a little soluble salt burn and or dehydration. I would really flush it with water a couple of times and give it extra water in general for a few weeks. They are big feeders, so there is probably quite a bit of time release fertilizer in your soil that is aggravating the leaf margin burn, and until it gets its roots out and gets established, the original rootball often dries out faster than the surrounding soil. It will be fine!
Mary... I think your ginger looks fine...it could be an older stalk. Looks like Hedychium greenii....bright orange flowers? They tend to look a bit tatty at times.....
Hi Jenny - that is Maiden Hair Fern. The Ginger is newly planted.
Thanks for the tips on the Ginger. It wasn't marked, and I haven't seen a bloom .... just stumbling my way through, as I haven't had it before.
Beautiful pics! I can hardly wait until my brugs get big enough to have such lovely flowers!
I also think your ginger looks fine, just needs to get used to the neighborhood. My white ginger is blooming again...ahhh heavenly fragrance!
Yokwe,
Shari
Love the brugs! Really nice!
Dance, anyone? This picture of Creamsickle reminds me of four dresses hanging, up ready for their ballerinas to put them on.
Sure does....someone start the music!!!!
Love Creamsickle, what a beauty Mary...do you like them better when they are in their white phase or when they turn pale orange?
