My Turmeric is Flowering!

Just a couple of days ago "S" posted on Big Island Self Sufficency Facebook page a picture of turmeric blooming. Quite honestly, I've never seen mine bloom. But lo and behold, there in the garden today was a strange bloom I had never seen before on the farm. But I instantly recognized it for what it was.....a turmeric flower. 


While I have perhaps 200 turmeric plants, only this one was in bloom. I wonder why this one but not the others?

  1. Could you have only seen one tumeric plant flower because that plant received more sunlight? My tumeric bed is in full sun until mid-to-late afternoon. I get flowers on some plants but not all. Just a thought.
