Plant of the Day
Saturday 13 January 2024
The tropical herbaceous perennial plant Etlingera elatior (torch ginger, ginger flower, red ginger lily, torchflower, torch lily, wax flower, wild ginger) needs a warm, humid climate. It produces a spreading clump with dramatic flowers which can be eaten when in bud having a crisp and succulent texture.

Hoya carnosa ‘Tricolor’ blooming at a local shop.
I’m not convinced ‘Tricolor’ is actually different from ‘Krimson Princess’ but this bloom is a different shade compared to my regular carnosa, so that’s cool.
