😱 Finally - the first image on Internet: rare ginger Borneo Pink (New Guinea)

• ❤️ Riedelia coralina - Coral Ginger Borneo Pink (New Guinea)
• ❤️ This super rare ginger finally bloomed for us! We grew this rare specimen from seeds form the collection of Mark Hooten, S. Florida horticulturist. The species close related to Burbidgea. Riedelia coralina is so rare that published information about this exact species is extremely hard to find. Most references to it appear in specialized collector circles rather than in widely available horticultural or botanical literature.

It is so rare you can't even find images on Internet. This will be the first one!

💎 Is Sapphire Gem really a ginger?

• 💎 Despite its name, Blue Ginger is not a true ginger but a member of the Commelinaceae family, closely related to the well-known Tradescantia houseplants.
• 💎 Dichorisandra thyrsiflora - Blue Ginger, Sapphire Gem is a clump-forming perennial enchants with its deep sapphire-blue blooms - a rare and striking color for the tropics.
• 💎 Growing 2-5 feet tall, it features dark green stems with leopard-like spots at the leaf axils and shiny, horizontally held foliage.
• 💎 Native to Brazil and Peru, Blue Ginger thrives in semi-shade or partial shade with moist, well-draining soil, making it an ideal addition to shade gardens, patios, or indoor collections.
• 💎 Its vibrant blue, lavender, or purple flowers attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and other pollinators, creating a lively display.
• 💎 In warm climates it remains evergreen and can tolerate brief dips into the low 30s. In cooler regions, it grows beautifully in pots and can be overwintered indoors in a cool, bright location. For best results, keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, maintain good air circulation, and fertilize moderately during the growing season.
• 💎 In warm environment, the plant is evergreen and doesn't go dormant (unlike true gingers). Close relative - Dichorisandra pendula - Weeping Blue Ginger

Why gardeners are swapping white Butterfly Ginger for this yellow giant

Hedychium flavum x coronarium, Yellow Butterfly Ginger, Nardo Ginger Lily - this variety grow fast and much bigger and vigorous than classic White Butterfly Ginger. More flowers - more fragrance!

What makes it especially nice:

• If you love fragrance in your garden, this plant delivers - the scent from the flower spikes can be wonderfully strong in warm evenings.
• The yellow-toned flowers are a subtle variation on the classic white butterfly ginger, so you get the same delightful form and perfume but with a twist of color.
• Bold foliage gives a tropical look - great for adding height, texture and a sense of lushness.
• Because it grows somewhat larger and more vigorous, it can create a dramatic feature rather than just a filler plant. Make sure you have enough room, especially if planted near other plants.
• Because the flowers last only a day each (in the white butterfly ginger, each flower lasts about one day) according to one source, you’ll see new blooms and old blooms in succession rather than long-lasting individual flowers.
• This yellow-butterfly ginger hybrid ticks all the boxes of a showy, fragrant, tropical-style plant with personality. Give it the space, moisture and good soil it craves, and you’ll be rewarded with lush leaves and clusters of softly yellow, scented blooms that draw in attention - and sniffers - all summer long!
