You’re back home! Looks like it was a good holiday.

@brightcolours Queenstown and Milford sound are both breathtakingly beautiful and Christchurch's Rose are the best I've ever seen

I have one of these indoors for now. Hoping I can keep it healthy thru the winter. They're so gorgeous

@lesliecole49 they can handle the occasional light frost

We get a little more than a light frost. Maybe like -10 to 0c give or take for about 2 months. Little to no snow

@lesliecole49 it may not survive that

Loved your profile on the GT #blog !! @kyleleonard is writing a blog on #memories

Thanks @brightcolours

Wow

This one is a true ginger unlike my blue Brazilian ginger which is related to wandering dew. This one is evergreen with nice foliage and beautiful flowers in spring. Mine has grown quite large in only a few years. I think its time to divide it.

Lovely! #pink #ginger #white #foliage

They do grow into quite large clumps.

Like the variegated foliage and lovely pale flowers

@nej what a spectacular bloom! These ginger plants are "something else " -- pity the flowers fade so soon 😒

@whitesusan yes the blooms are a bit ephemeral but there's a good succession of them

Mine hasn't flowered yet...can't wait!

They flower in mid spring. I can't wait for mine every year
