The Variegated Thumb

I purchased a ginger I had never seen before at Zone 9 Tropicals.  It is commonly called Golden Brush or Golden Ginger.  The scientific name is Burbidgea scheizocheila.  It has the typical growth habit of a gingers, but stays pretty short and is considered by some as a “dwarf” ginger.  The leaves are deep green on reddish purple stems.  The blooms are orangey-yellow.
