    Hi Judy:

    Fabulous blog! I’d put up a link to your blog to the blogroll on my blog ‘Seafire Chronicles’, also on WordPress. Hope that’s OK. I’ve only been in La Manzanilla for one all-too-short visit but have left a piece of my soul there. The LM Bulletin board and your work helps keep the juices flowing. You make a difference.
    Thanks
    Fred

      Marilyn there are hundreds of varieties of ginger. One produces the bulb ginger we use to flavor food. Others produce a medicinal bulb used to make teas. I’ve seen this variety posted in images illustrating both usages, but I’m not convinced that they are not mis-posts. I do know the ginger root flowers are much smaller and yellowish-green. I grow these only for their beauty–or did. All of mine have died out. I need to replant. Along with heliconia, protea, birds of paradise and bromeliads, they are my favorite flowers.
