I had to google this one. It is related to ginger but doesn’t have an edible root. However the bud is and is sliced to use as a spice. Good looking flower no matter its other uses.

This is such a tall “tower” of a flower! Torch ginger is a beautiful name for this unique flower. I like that you show an old 1949 picture of the saleswoman. I bet they smell great! 🏵️
