Have you ever seen Honeycomb Ginger?

1. There are several different cultivars

with different color inflorescences. They do well in zone 9b and south, although if the tops freeze they might not flower the next year. Also they may struggle in the 7 months of drought which can occur in South Florida, especially if the soil is pure sand. The inflorescence makes a long lasting cut flower, although it has no fragrance. Shampoo ginger is a relative which produces a liquid used in shampoos.

7. Well, that explains why I've never seen these before!

Im all the way up here in 5b, lol!

I hope I do get a chance to see them someday. They look amazing!

3. I have never seen honeycomb ginger, my dear sinkingfeeling! It's gorgeous.

Those are very cool photos.

Something I would try: getting up close. A macro shot or something similar. The way the honeycomb twists around draws my eye.

I've been using f4 to get that sort of effect, and it's fascinating to see how things turn out. And that's with my 12--45 mm lens, just my walking-around lens.

Your new home is full of beautiful new opportunities!

5. For you. I only have my Samsung phone with me. My good Canon

cameras and lens are in a shipping container probably sitting on a dock in Miami awaiting a ship to Costa Rica.

These are full of rain water.

6. Wow, thank you so much for sharing this wonderful photo with me, my dear sinkingfeeling!

It almost becomes something other than what it is. The power of close-up photos!

Here's the photo where I first used the F4:
