they are so neat, right? you can probably grow them indoors in portugal, if you have a big enough bathroom that has lots of indirect light.

I think i can grow them outside on protected places… but they are hard to find.
gingers need plenty of humidity, hence my bathroom advice, lol. But haven’t really grown them outside the tropics so i might be wrong–they might do ok outdoors in Portugal’s 9a. I hope there will soon be a purveyor of tropicals in EU that will include ornamental gingers…
hedychium is another ginger to have, the lily-white blossoms smell of heaven!

But it’s great that already is pushing flower buds. Even the seller didn’t expect that, only 2 or 3 years he told me.

I now have Purple Bliss and Pink Ice. I hope to get a few next year. What I thought were flowers, were tiny new leaves. The plants are excellent and healthy.

Here are my two. Didn’t want to let the heat out so the picture is taken through my salon door. The bushy one doing really well is Pink. And the scrawny one is my newer purple bliss! It is growning new leaves which start out as being the size of a pin head! Love the smally project!
Don’t know how the cookie recipe got in there buy boy the cookies are great! The first lime is hiding behind the table, but sticking out.

love those pink ones!
incidentally, currently munching on this bowlful of pink pomelo vesicles(i eat them like popcorn) and it is the most refreshing citrus imo. If jujubes are to apples, then pomelos are to oranges. Pomelos are relatively dry for a citrus, but are just as delectable as oranges/tangerines, and way more refreshing. I just feel so good even long after i’ve consumed them, much like with jujubes
