Alpinia, Shell Ginger, Variegated Shell Ginger 'Variegata' (Alpinia zerumbet)
Armando's and Nellie's ginger bloom. Mine hasn't bloomed yet. Shown in May.
Relatively small, but pretty plant. Rio de Janeiro, early spring.
This plant brightens up any shady area, but performs best in partial shade. (San Antonio, Tx.)
Close up of the leaf... I loved this pattern. Rio de Janeiro.
Orlando Florida
'Variegata'
Fills in this space nicely; adds heighth, color and textural interest along with the caladiums in the foreground. The sunlight is backlighting some of the leaves. (San Antonio, Tx.)
We have 2 of these plants blooming now. The leaves are variegated, and the flowers are very beautiful. We have never seen another with this color blooms.

Variegated Shell Ginger at Orlando theme park.
Hard to beat the color of this plant. It is bright and cheerful.
This makes a beautiful houseplant.
Mine has so much yellow variegation, it is just stunning.

My Shell Ginger was very unhappy in partial shade (St. Pete, FL), so I moved it to full shade and now it's thriving.
