Donāt trust tags! 𤪠A few weeks ago I bought what was labeled as āCone Gingerā from my Walmartās graveyard. After researching online, I quickly got convinced this was not a Cone Ginger! I went back to the label and saw that the other side had a tiny botanical name printed on it: Curcuma Zedoaria. So this is a Turmeric! š (Google says āWhite Turmericā, maybe the root is white?? I didnāt dig to find outā¦). My recovering Turmeric was ok, but not exactly thriving (the huges leaves were still sort of floppy). As soon as I was able to get my tiny lanai screened, I relocated her outside, and Iām happy to report sheās loving it! Her leaves finally stretched out, and the weird flower recently bloomedā¦ š¤š I think I might plant her in the garden if I can (stupid HOA rules around here! š). #MislabelledPlants #DontTrustTheTag #WhiteTurmeric #BlissfulBlooms #ExoticPlants
