Thanks Dalmation!

Ari, I checked both of my Costa Rica plant books and I can't find this ginger anywhere.

I posted photos once before and Michael said it could be Costus guanaiensis. Here is the original post with more photos.

Thanks, Jeff... I have to remember not to ask again next time. My memory is shocking these days...

Regards, Ari :)

Jeff! Do you think this plant I saw on the biennial is the same? I thought it was a vine, but now I'm not so sure...

Thanks for the killer tour.. :D

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Glad you liked it Bill.

I think the plant in your photo is different. The plant in my photo is more of a bush with large leaves and the flowers are located at the top of the plant. In your photos the flowers are coming from woody stems. If I run across a similar plant in one of my CR plant books, I'll let you know.
