Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: Costus Barbatus

Finally, a chance to upload a few photos! Have been crazily busy the last few days. I even fitted in a visit to the Zoo this afternoon - hadn't had time to go there recently. Was running out of half-decent photos to post, LOL! "Spiral Ginger - a very beautiful ginger (herbaceous perennial) with red spiral arranged leaves; sometimes classified under Costaceae. It grows up to 9' tall with large green leaves, yellow flowers and a long, glossy red, inflorescence. This plant is a favorite of hummingbirds." From www.tropilab.com .
