Shell Ginger


I like taking pictures of flowers especially ginger flowers. Some are red, some are pink, some are blue and some are white. I particularly like the shell ginger because of the unusual shape reminiscent of a shell hence the name. I like it so much I painted them too.
I actually bought some specimens of shell, pink and red gingers recently. I already have the white gingers and they are blooming profusely in the garden providing a wonderful aroma in my garden. The pink gingers already flowered but not the shell ginger yet. I can’t wait.
I just recently acquired a blue torch ginger and I was hoping it will do good too.
