Mine aren't up yet either, but I'd be surprised if they're all dead. What part of the state are you in? I'm in NE AL, so things tend to be a little later here.

I am still waiting on mine as well, but daily I find things peeking out, so I have not given up on them or the missing cannas. So far I have only lost a couple of crinum for sure.

I was outside this afternoon and noticed a couple of green ginger shoots peeking through. Guess they've decided winter really is over. ;-)

My hedychiums are several inches high but my curcums and shampoo gingers are not peeking out yet.

hi everyone,thank you for all your kind responses. dear catbird,i am in birmingham and haven't seen even a peek yet.they smell so fantastic,maybe they're just a little slow coming back ( i hope)

And I'm in Mobile! Neither have I seen a sign of the numerous gingers that I have. But the wild stuff, it is up and growing nicely around my tiny pond.

Am I the only Mobile poster? Where did everyone go?

I'm near Mobile too and here but just not very often :)

No ginger lilles but my friend who has some told me last week hers were coming up.

My gingers are up about 2 inches. No sign of Canna yet...

I'm over on the Eastern Shore, and some of my Gingers are up quite a few inches but not the pinecone gingers, they're usually a little later. My Cannas are up also. The asparagus fern is coming back as well. Hope your plants are beginning to show their heads soon.

i would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for all your kind responses.so far,i don't see my gingers. but again,it's very cool here again. oh well..........

Hey Mobile & Eastern Shore.... I have about 15 different gingers already out of dormancy. Curcumas, Hedychiums, Costus, and Kaempferias. The Globbas & Zingibers are my only types that are still dormant. I am scheduled to do a WorkShop on Gingers at Bellingrath Gardens on 7/14/10. I have lots of other tropical plants that I am in need to get rid of: Irises, Bananas (Copper Ornamental & Bordelon), Day Lilies, Toad Lilies, Kerria japonica, Crinums (10-15 types), Zephyranthus, Salvias, Elephant Ears (Xanthosomas, Alocasias & Colocasias), Dwarf Papyrus, Blood Lilies, Passifloras, Gloriosa Lilies, Persicaria, Southern Fern, Cannas, Clerodendrons, the list goes on & on. FTO

How about this for a swift comeback?
