Globba! That's it! Thank you Alan. Mine were in plastic bags -
guess they were left over from your place, as they were distributed
at the banquet. So, I assume what I have is Globba schomburgkii,
which from a Google search, appears to be a type of non-hardy
ginger...flowers look interesting.
Found one site that said they start to go dormant when temps. stay
under 65F and should be brought in to about that temperature - not
less - and watered sparingly for winter while they are dormant. Is
this what you'd recommend?
