Anyone know if you can grow Turmeric, Galangal or Karachi from roots in
the UK?

So far my ginger has sprouted - but my Turmeric and Karachi have not
shown any signs of life. I will persist...

I picked up a tuber type thing from a tropical food stall in the market down
near London Bridge this spring.

It's grown - buts it's totally boring, about 2ft high, green 'floppy' leaves all
the way up the stem. It shows no sign of flowering or doing anything else
interesting !

I've no idea what it is.......:~))
