These are in my garden, one group in front and one in back. I love them because in the front of the house, we are on a hill, people can see them easily from the street
Ginger ,Many of our plants have come from exotic Countries ,introduced to us,in Horticultural Experimental stations ,as per soil conditions,water & heat required,& it's a wonder if you look around why even some of those are able to survive,out here in Western Canada it's amazing what exotic plants have survived,that we have enjoyed also trees,shrubs,,& Fruit trees all growing in ALPINE weather conditions,they out there are always experimenting,,,look at Hybrids,,,look at the hundreds of varieties of Geraniums now,it's mind bending ,at one time I could identify the 4 varieties but now ,just like the Daisy Family ,Ginger,the list goes on,each year they introduce more & more.example,,,,the Hibiscus.,incredible as to where it will grow..,so many examples.
Artist Reply: WOW, Interesting information Al, Thank you! i enjoyed reading it.
WOW!!!!! Beautiful addition to your garden. What a feature.
Artist Reply: Hi Kevin, thank you for your comment. I was surprised last year when they came back up from 20 degree weather, I just left in the huge root. I understand that you can dig up and pot them during winter and they will grow inside or just place the root in a bag and place in garage for winter, then plant outside again! If you want one let me know. They have a lot in the Spring!
COLOCASIA,,,,these are beautiful plants, ,very leafy. ,
Artist Reply: You might know. Did they originally come from Hawaii? I remember about 17 years ago going to Hawaii and saw them everywhere! Ten years later I saw them in Home depot! Everyone loves them! I have been wanting to make a cement tray from those leaves (Hypertufa pots). I have a oblong one I made. Painted and stained would be lovely near a water spout or just in the garden! Thank you for you super comment!
