Turmeric Flower. #2 x 100 Flowers 2025
"Native Turmeric (also called the “Cape York lily”) is a moisture-loving flowering ginger, native to northern Australia. It is the only native Australian Curcuma plant out of over 100 or more species around the world. It featured as a roast root vegetable in Guugu Yimithirr Aboriginal cuisine. Native Turmeric occurs naturally on Cape York Peninsula (QLD), in the Northern Territory, and in Papua New Guinea, typically in wet woodland and forest areas, and in moist pockets across sandstone regions.
This species puts on a spectacular flowering from November to March in tropical/subtropical regions, producing tall, showy flower spikes bearing pink or red bracts and white or yellow buds." tuckerbush.com.au/native-turmeric-curcuma-australasica/
"Curcuma bloom in summer or sometimes fall, depending on the variety and the length of your growing season. Showy blossoms appear on the plant's lengthy stems, along with very long, lance-shaped leaves that resemble a canna lily. The leaves can be green, variegated, or have a central red stripe and grow from 18 to 40 inches long. This herbaceous perennial grows rapidly during monsoon season in its native habitat, and then goes dormant during the dry winter." www.southernliving.com/garden/plants/curcuma-plant
