Specimen Observations
Curcuma petiolata variegata grows quickly and blooms readily. What impressed me most about this Curcuma is its inflorescence. When it first emerges, the closed bracts are an iridescent green reminiscent of crystals. The variegation is also impressive, running the length of the leaves.
