"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

I don't know how to post a foto that's not from my camera and they have't come up yet this year. Goggle Hidden Ginger images.


I scroll all the way to the bottom of the screen and then click on desktop. If I browser the website in the desktop version it looks exactly like when I'm on the computer. So then adding a picture I just click on that icon that looks like mountains in a square.
 
I have been stalking this flower for awhile now finally it bloomed!
I will often will take on just about dead plants from the nurseries at end of season and such lol I have the room and and sheltered areas to keep then growing. I love to try different plants in Louisiana so I know what 'I' can grow or what is better left to a green thumb! I have a few "annuals" that act as perineals* down here I love this warm state lol
This plant was unknown flower, dead in a pot root bound but had a teeny sprig of green last fall. So for .25 cents at the nursery I bought it lol stuck it in with some day Lilys and this morning it bloomed! Is this an Iris also? I love it!

That is SO COOL! You know why? Because I have also been stalking my "Bearded Irises" that look exactly the same as that one!!! I have a good size clump of them now. I love them.

I cannot believe that mine bloomed the exact same morning as yours! I will add the picture I just took.

I guess they don't look EXACTLY the same. But close. Yours should multiply for you! The main thing I have to do with mine is cut the babies off and replant them and I always have to clean off the tops of the RHIZOME. These kind of Iris love to have that rhizome exposed to the sun.
 
I googled it their are alot of gingers. What color are yours? I have white it smells devine. I have peach it blooms like the white and smells good too the peach smell stronger as the flower gets older. I have some with dark green leaves they bloom every couple of years have a waxey texture no smell they look like an orchjd flower. I have varigated yellow leaf ones with the orchid type flower. lastly I have edible ginger. The white I have a ton of but I love the smell and so do humming birds,

I have yellow Iris and a spot that has a mixture of colors that needes split up. My butter fly Iris need to be split up.I have a mass planting of double flower daylileys in orange.I have sagos to get thinned out. Some holly ferns they do great in shady areas where most things don't grow. I probally have more than this tomorrow I'll take pics and stock of everything. 2 things I'm looking for even if its for purchase are mayhaw and Peacan trees. Any one want to trade or barter for something let me know. I'll be able to do that after primrose and I trade each other. I have a bunch of amerris bulds too they are pictured in the pic where I showed our guest house. Pam


Mine are dark green leaves with pink/purple flowers that are stunning multi-layers. The leaves stay green until frost. It comes back every year, just hasn't come up yet. The leaves are large and about 3' high.
 
Beautiful! That's so neat they bloomed same day. By the way, I took so long to get this box out...the amaryllis are throwing blooms up :gig IN the BOX! They don't mind lol So when you get those, take the ones about to bloom and plant them and you should get a nice showy set .Mine here planted have just started to stalk...maybe I should get then a box :hmm

I think I put a young plant this flower made In your box, but i don't think it will bloom this season? It's a baby. But! Of the few I have- the smallest of the plants has bloomed 1st, so eventually you can see them side by side lol
 
This is the only bearded set on the property , I'll have to hunt more down off season, I shoulda bought the 16 of them for .25 cents each but I wasn't sure even what it was and the nursery staff has no clue at that one when they have seasonal help lol
