Description
 
From Vietnam by Floden-Mitchell-Wynn-Jones of this surely lovely Ginger family member.  We say surely because most Alpinia are lovely and we've grown this for ten years with nary a flower.  No fault of the plant but of our cool climate with no summer heat.  Dense clumps to 30" tall.  Let us know when it blooms.  This might be hardy in zone 8 with mulch but the evergreen stems will be lost.  Should be a good plant for the southern tier of the US.
