Grew this from seed and it bloomed within a year. The flower was pathetic and it was a wonder I didn't throw it out but next thing, it produced this! The seed capsule and seeds are spectacular. Dwarf size for a ginger as well...just 24".

Pretty flower, but yeah, pretty pathetic too! I'm glad the seedpod makes up for it! :clap:
 
Weird & eye catching. Wow.

Most gingers are monster plants (at least by under lights standards) good to know there are a few that can bloom at less than 3 feet.
