I forgotten to mention that the height of this plant is about or less than 12 inches. I also thought it was "bottle" brush ginger, but seeing the plant images compared to my plant seems very different. The Hedychium coccineum looks huge! Also the form of the leaves compare to Hedychium coccineum does not look alike. I love the mosses and the young Psilotum nudum or moa growing in the pot. I decided to divide this plant into four or five segments. It's a bit root bound and will be planted in a new pot.

Thanks Nana, it's so nice to have all the decor up in this area. SD, thanks, I try to hit the clearance sales so always have new ornies to play with each year. Jane, I started painting a couple things for Christmas this weekend and visited DFs. So guess I'm enjoying what's done. Waiting to see what DGD says about her/TJ's dress and hat. Jeanne, we don't have a HL around here. I will get busy and share some close ups of the cabinets for you. I took them just haven't taken the time to post. I think owls are in this year. Remember my pinecone birds I bought last year? Haven't seen them yet but they would of been nice to add to my woodsy buffet!LOL Candy, I remember DM and us girls making so many goodies for the holidays. My DH and kids don't care about any of that really. Instead it's workout time at the gym.Geez The garland around the door is same as last year with added green poinsettias. I had put it in a box so all I had to do is fluff this year. Will do that again for next year.LOL Thanks everyone for looking and all the sweet comments. Punk

donna, no, i have no camera or cell phone. and i have looked for hours on the internet.

Paul Mitchell has a shampoo based on this product. It feels like you used cream rinse afterwards. It makes a hand lotion also. When the "cones" start producing flowers in August, you can start harvesting the liquid every week or two. Now that they are all dark red and old, they are starting to rot now.
