    We have two Hedychiums 'Dr. Moy' and 'Tahitian Flame'. We have had them since last fall and kept them in the house. Put them out this spring and they have grown wonderfully. We have brought them in the house now, as it was getting quite cold.
    They are in a south facing window.
    Curious as to wether they could still flower in the house as they had not pushed out
    any inflourescence at this time.
    We had Hedychium 'Tara', but lost it during the winter. It did flower when we had it, in Sept.
    Flower was beautiful, but we replaced it with the others as they would also have a fragrance.
    I wonder how these plants would do if kept in the house over the winter? Then in the spring, planting them into the ground? Would they manage with the disturbance?
    Or does one leave them in the pots and not fuss with them?
    If anyone has some information and/or thoughts we would like to here them.
    Thank You.
    Charles
