What’s In Bloom? Red Button Ginger

Published: Nov 5

Now with the first freeze of the season, our attention focuses to what’s blooming in Amazonia. Red Button Ginger (Costus woodsonii), draws attention with

its exotic red flowers. The warm humidity of Amazonia provides this easy to grow ginger with what it needs to bloom continuously.

The ginger makes for an excellent back drop when viewing the prehensile tailed porcupines.
