Its called String of Pearls Ginger or Shell Ginger.


I have had this ginger by my pond for years. Never did a thing. Just two tone green with
spots. Suddenly I think I'm seeing things. A flower. I have flowers this year that I have coveted
my whole life. It looks like I am going to have real hollyhock flowers in my garden. I have
coveted those for years. I have this thing for wanting to grow things that do not belong here.
Like my surinam cherries. They are native in south Florida, Miami to be exact. Mine had frozen many times. I started covering them during freezes. I have cherries this year. First time ever.
