I never thought of turmeric having a flower as I only knew the spice used in Indian food. The roots are similar to ginger and if you let them grow a flower appears. They were selling them for some time in the store, so I decided to buy one. It produced a few flowers and I still have the plant, but now just a few leaves. The Summer has now gone, but I will keep it to discover if anything happens next year.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain!

Retired and Enjoying Every Minute of It
I am Ahmed Abdi, a Wordpress blogger and storyteller who searches for stories that inspire people. I love writing because it’s a reflection of how I perceive the world around me. Lost in a world of endless chaos in my childhood, Unforgettable moments of tragedy and triumphs taught me the art of storytelling where I found myself through letter writing and then turned into stories but then sadly had lost everything I wrote for years. In 2018, I decided to create a Wordpress blog site that would allow me to store and retrieve every piece. Stories from my community, city and people are what make my writing so interesting and inspiring! I’m a tea lover so a cup of tea sometimes makes my blog.

You are so lucky to be able to buy the flower where you live. I have been trying to get a tuber to grow my own for years! Not a single one can be found. They say we can’t grow it here. You can get dried, crushed,ground but nothing that will let you grow!

I didn’t even know they existed until I saw them in the store. Perhaps you might find a tuber in an Indian spice shop.

I have seen them, but they are too dried to plant. They are used for grating. One day I will get my hands on one! I have contacted a nursery and hope they can get some in.

Wow, I have been wanting to get the culinary ginger for a while. Now I need to ask about turmeric too. Kahili ginger is the only common ginger here. The culinary gingers that I see in the Los Angeles area are supposedly not so tolerant of frost.

Here they are plants for outside in the summer months, otherwise they are grown inside.
