Pinecone Ginger Bloom - Season 2

Last year, I was carefully watching the pinecone ginger in my yard, hoping to catch it in bloom. Unfortunately, the blooms never came or they were camera shy. Regardless, I never spotted them and decided to wait it out another year.
The past few days have seen some action with the ginger bulbs coming out, but nothing blooming. This morning, I caught one with a single bloom on the side. Given all of the waiting, I wanted it captured in high-resolution, so I broke the rules of the blog and made this new category. I have to say, it really looks good coming from a nice camera. I hope that Susie has a moment to stop by and see it. She was looking forward to it last year, but it never appeared. The photo may be a year late, but better late than never.

So this is the real reason for the new hi-res photo category. You were just stringing us along with that earlier post, er, excuse, er, pack of lies about why you were adding a hi-res category. Flickr group, yeah. That was the ticket, but now the truth comes out!
I bet you’re conspiring with Michelle!
Seriously, though, great pic. Looks like it had to squeeze its way out of there.

How cool I have never seen a pinecone ginger plant. I will have to look this up for more information or more pictures. The top link does not work for me. Was it leading to an older post or information about the plant?
I believe it was your evil buddy Dan - that said rules were meant to be broken.

It’s beautiful and well worth the wait. I didn’t have the opportunity get a look of this flower when I visited Florida last Christmas, hopefully I will the next time I visit Florida.

That is gorgeous. The out of focus background and the pin sharp flower is fab. (see how I know all the technical terms?)
May I just say as it’s your blog, you can do what you like on it, I reckon. When the images are as great as this one, they deserve to be seen
