lanikai Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 In the rain forest (Manoa) purely by chance a very rare "Kahili ginger" is seen.. these are not common and are seen (if at all) on the Big Island of Hawaii.. it is named "Kahili" because it resembles the Royal Kalhi that was carried by the Royal court.. and the colours are that of the Royal Crest.. red and yellow.. I grew up in this Valley and we used to swim in the ice ponds and hike all over the rain forest.. it became unsafe .. if you stumbled onto someones pakalolo patch it was usually booby trapped or it was guarded by armed growers.. these guy's were quite serious about their crops.. and now swimming in the ice ponds is not safe because of the feral pigs (waste) in the streams.. down load these pics if ya want and give the wifey a rare Kahili Ginger A~C Lani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KB Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Very interesting Lani, is it not possible, for say a horticulturist, to now collect seeds from that plant and start growing them before they disappear altogether?

Ken Ginger propagates through "runners".. like grass .. through it's root system.. it has no seeds .. so now this will be raised to produce more.. .. I'm interested in Horticulture as a side ...
