Dichorisandra thyrsiflora or 'blue ginger' is neither a true ginger nor blue. However, it is an attractive ginger like plant which flowers well from spring to autumn in my sub-tropical Gold Coast hinterland garden. Cool nights are reducing the yield and making buds a little scruffy, but a gem of contrasting purple and gold can still be found.
Crepe Ginger flower, Cheilocostus speciosus, or crêpe ginger, is a species of flowering plant in the family Costaceae. Some botanists have now revived the synonym Hellenia speciosa for this species. Wikipedia

Ginger is one of the cats on the YWAM base where my wife an I are volunteering this winter. I took this picture yesterday and then used some HDR processing to bring out the blue color and details in Ginger's eye. I chose to redo the March 26th theme - The Blues. HSS and HMM

History
Ginger, along with black pepper, were considered highly valuable trade commodities in 13th and 14nth century England.
One pound of ginger traded for the same amount as a sheep.
The country of India brought ginger to the Romans as far back as 2,000 years ago.
The Romans used the plant for its medicinal value.
The ginger family (Zingiberaceae) contains around 1,000 species of tropical perennial herbs.
Some gingers are cultivated for their edible rhizomes, which are used for as both a medicine and a culinary spice.
Other ginger plants, known as ornamental gingers, are grown primarily for their pleasing appearance.
Leafy cane-like stems arise from rhizomes to form a plant 3 to 15 feet tall and 2 to 4 feet wide.
Throughout the year, ginger plants produce stunning red blossoms that are often used in flower arrangements.
When growing gingers, remember, they love moist, well-drained soil and partial shade.
Ginger blooms come red, pink and white, have thick, very sturdy stems and are perfect to create height in a tropical arrangement.
They have a decidedly modern feel.

Among the plants in season at Mercer Gardens is the Golden Ginger. Probably, the common name comes from the fact that the base of the bloom is a golden color but the leaves are a glowing translucent white to deep pink at the tips.
