Trade plumeria for gingers

14 years ago

I have been collecting plumeria for many years. I just got hooked on gingers, and have compiled a list of those gingers I would like to acquire in trade for plumeria. I have a few hundred different cultivar of plumeria, so hopefully I can find a like minded ginger addict and we can both benefit.

I am looking for:

Alpinia japonica

Alpinia purpurata "Razeberry Delight"

Alpinia pururata "Red Dwarf"

Alpinia purpurata "White Veil"

Costus curvibracteatus "Green Mountain"

Costus "Red Rose"

Curcuma Cordata

Curcuma Petiolata

Curcuma "Scarlet Fever"

Etlingera Correrii "Siam Rose"

Etlingera elatior "Thai Queen"

Hedychium "Betty Ho"

Hedychium coccineum "Orange Bottlebrush"

Hedychium densiflorum

Hedychium "Dr. Moy"

Hedycium "Elizabeth"

Hedychium hybrid "Palani"

Hedychium raffilii

Hedychium hybrid "Tac Moto"

Hedychium "Thai Spirit"

Hedychium "Tropic Bird"

Hedychium "White Starburst"

Zingiber sp. "Milky Way"

Zingiber collinsii "Silver Streaks"

Zingiber zerumbet "Hainan Pink"

I can't tell what part of CA you live in but if you are in the LA area, your list of gingers contains a few that won't make it there in the ground. They may grow but will never bloom and eventually, they will dwindle away. Those would be the Alpinia Purpuratas, the Curcumas, the Etlingeras, and probably the Zingibers. Alpinia Japonica will do well, as will all of the Hedychiums. I am uncertain about the Costus. With that said, I have the following from your list:Alpinia Japonica, Alpinia Purpurata Red(not on your list), Costus Green Mountain, Curcuma Cordata, Petiolata, Scarlet Fever, H Coccineum orange, Dr, Moy, Elizabeth, Palani, Raffilii, and Z. Silver Streaks.

I have yellow, off white and various shades of pink plumerias - cannot tellcyouvwhich ones you might get as they were cuttings from my existing plants andcarecall in a giant pot and not in bloom right now. I can box them up and would love any double, triple, white and also small staying Brug cuttings in return. I also can add some pine cone ginger roots as well as a little something extra. Please let me know.

I also have white ginger or nice amaryllis bulbs. I have a traveler palm about 1 1/2 to 2 foot tall for a few plumeria's. I have some beautiful canna rhizomes also with red flowers and green/purplish leaves. They are very healthy. I am also willing to pay postage if you have a lot to get rid of and don't see anything on my list that you want. I do prefer colors other than yellow on the plumeria but not a deal breaker.

Last call! Still available: Clematis/Sweet Autumn; Plumeria Seeds; Gingers - only white butterfly and shell remaining. Water plants - miniature arrowhead; minature cat-tail [often called bullrush]; water lillies. Absolutely no freebies due to the abuse by a handful of members couple of years ago over suggested postage/not sending sasbe's etc. Sorry but I just can't be bothered with the hassle.
