Hedychium gardnerianum

Nice weed, I have one called " Tara" it looks like she may flower this year

Stunning I thought it was a Costa Richo national orchid flower or a ginger.

3p it is a ginger you are correct

Gg

It is in the family, like Gg says. The white and pink ones will be flowering soon☺ Trouble is, they all have a strong scent and develop into huge clumps very quickly. Some of the stalks are over 6' tall.

Thank you Gnarly gnome for letting me know.☺

Thank you to Wylie I thought I would love a weed like this all over my garden better than Bine weed. Wow 6ft never thought they grew that tall and scent to your so lucky. I shall be looking out now for Gnarly gnomes and your white and pink ones now ☺

3p mine does have a flower bud developing

I've never seen this before and on the page of pics I thought it was a late foxtail lily. Amazing and beautiful too.

It is one that has to be kept from any frost. I did see it on a cooking show from the UK where the Two Fat Ladies visited a place that was making some bread for the Portuguese workers in the traditional style. They wrap the dough in the leaves of this plant and then cook it in a wood oven (like a pizza oven).
It will die back after flowering and then develop a new rhizome for the shoots and flowers the next spring.

Super weed, I'd keep it!

It is nice, but here it is very, very invasive. It even does well in my woods.

I suppose it depends how big your garden is ...
