I've have white butterfly gingers (large clumps of them) several years old, which reproduce themselves prolificly, BUT they NEVER bloom! Doesn't appear anything's eating them, no rolly worms, yellow cooties, etc. It's curious to me because I've never had a plant, particularly a ginger, that didn't eventually produce a bloom. Any ideas? Needs more fertilizer? Getting too much sun? All male plants? Curiously stumped! :)
