Hedychium 'Kewense'
17th January 2006
The original plant was raised by Charles Raffill at Kew, and like 'Raffillii' is said the be a hybrid
between Hedychium gardnerianum and Hedychium coccineum. Orange yellow flowers.
Somewhere along the way a second plant has come to carry the same name. It has large heads of pale pink flowers.
My plant is of the second form, and came from Aloha Tropicals.
