Hedychium 'Tara' - 2013

I like this plant.

Lucky you, I am fed up with waiting for our gingers to flower, they could be on the compost heap next week!!

Wash your mouth out, DD! Lol.
Have you thought of issueing this threat to the plants, directly?
They may respond & start producing. ;-)

DD - this has only just started to flower. I've had mine for eight years now, and hacked a piece off it this spring to give to my friend Gill

8 years.........I may be patient Andrew but not that patient lol

Lol, DD!

DD - I meant it flowers every year, but it's just starting to flower now, for this year. Isn't English complicated?

Language is the source of all misunderstanding, I once heard.

And English is such an imprecise language.
For example, red and yellow tulips. Is that (red and yellow) tulips OR red tulips and yellow tulips

Precisely, Andrew.
Cough, bough, sow, cow, the list is endless...Lol.

Or bough, cough, dough, enough

And as my grandfather used to say - you should never use a preposition to end a sentence with

My grasp of the English isn't that extensive, Andrew.
I have to contend with just punctuation most of the time, let alone anything else. Lol.
