Dear ALL: PLEASE listen to me with an open mind this is not personal but science
*coccineum * means scarlet, red etc Does your dried up inflorescence look scarlet or give any indication that there is any scarlet in it.??? Looks brownish violet wilts to brown red wilts to brown pink wilts to brown green wilts to brown heck, even white wilts to brown some pink and white flowers wilt first to pink and then brown... (this inflorescence has one reddish/pinkish hue on one floret) can you swear that the wilted flowers were scarlet? and that their form and anatomy was that of real Hedychium coccineum flowers? be reasonable. its diagnosis is possibly Hedychium sp not otherwise classified. ps if the hotline said its h. coccineum, they may have the seed packet/ bulb packet, may be one of them planted it if they are the volunteers may be they can send you a picture of the packet if they do, we can revise our diagnosis. hope that helps usha di On Fri, Feb 1, 2019 at 8:19 PM Aarti S.
