Mystery Plant
http://tinyurl.com/wwut
http://tinyurl.com/wwux Can anyone identify what this plant is? Nobody in the neighborhood seems to know, and I couldn't find it in any of the garden books that I checked. Almost looks like a cross between a banana plant and some kind of bamboo. It's located in the eastern Ventura County area of SoCal. Thanks in advance for any help and/or ideas. :-) -- GregR |

It's a Hawaiian plant, I think of the ginger group, can't think of it's name
right now, but it grows wild over there. -- "In this universe the night was falling,the shadows were lengthening towards an east that would not know another dawn.

There are no gingers native to Hawaii, Storlard, but there are many
different kinds grown there. Maybe one should just attribute your incorrect statement to your sloppy use of the language? Starlord wrote in message ...

Yes--closeups! Closeups! At that distance, I can't tell if it's a "butterfly"
ginger, a "shell" ginger, or what. Definitely gingerish. zemedelec |

It can be any number of things, including heliconia, bird of paradise...others.
If it has flowers I'm positive people can identify it, but foliage only is not helpful.

Is yours fragrant? Can't tell yet - nothing but pods right now, though the flowers look like they're ready to bloom in the next couple of weeks or so. -- GregR - Another Beemer Biker ...o&o [This space for rent - inquire within] |
