This type of ginger is invasive here too. Even when dug up they carry on growing even with their roots exposed!

It’s pretty much a lost cause, but they do make the effort to remove it, particularly in areas where they’re trying to encourage native plants.

It’s a very nice forest. Reminds me of the Pacific Northwest here in Hawaii.

They look like solar lights in the forest. Fabulous colour and, as you say, they break up the green.

They’re a gorgeous flower. Too bad about being invasive though.

Yes, that’s very sneaky. It’s hard to dig out something beautiful.

That’s true, but if you don’t dig them out they take over.

There are quite a few showy ginger flowers, but most of them spread like wildfire.
