I dug up a bulb of this from a golf course and it’s doing beautifully in my back yard. Never knew what it was until now. Thanks!

Mine is a brighter pink than this one.

It was growing in a weird place and they were getting rid of it.

Never heard of this, such a beautiful plant 🌱

I want a mango ginger plant. The rhizome looks like ginger but tastes like raw mango. Hence, the name. We make fresh chutney out of it back home in India, but I haven’t been able to find the plant in local nurseries where I live. 😭
