That's good, I have kitted a few of them in my time too..
I knitted my granddaughter here one last year
In that horrible polyester thread that looks like a fringe
Colours were nice though, aqua blue, lilac, purple and silver
She loved it but to me it felt like fur

Glad you liked the perfume Gail.
There are plenty of flowers on their spikes and will last a few weeks

My white ginger flower opened a couple of days ago but didn't get a chance to take a pic, still a couple of buds due to open soon so hopefully I will get one of them. I like the perfume

 I do like that one, I'll bookmark a piece of that if I may I also have the green one with the red flowers as well I know they take over but give the rear garden height and depth I think, bloody water hungry buggars though

My fav. would have to be the Canna Topicanna, I love the colours of the leaves I'll be digging up a lot again this year so if anyone wants some sing out I can squeeze a lot into a express post bag

I have ratty looking stems on my Yellow Bee hive Ginger and my Dwarf Orange Beehive Ginger, what a flop they are been in the ground 17 months now and not as much as a flower on either of them..
The Costus are reaching for the sky though..
I googled Red Ginger images it looks quite nice..

I like perfumed plants so that won't worry me. I don't have any red ones, just a couple of supposedly special ones that hardly do anything except stay about a foot tall 
I had already cut one ratty looking stem off the white ginger as it had some nice new shoots coming up at the base. I'm glad I didn't cut the other one of then too.
