Comments (19)Cindeea, South of Ocala ,Kenny's Nursery. A nursery run by the mentally challenged. About $5. They have several other gingers.That is a good link on gingers. Scott, The edible ginger that I have I started with one piece that I bought at the grocery store.It has continue to expand and now I have many of them. Whenever we need it for a dish We just dig a piece. They are also good for coughs, Stomach problems and bad breath. What you have might be Butterfly ginger. I don't think all gingers are edible. Thank you all for your compliments on these girls. Felix...See Moretmli
