Too pretty to cut these beautiful red Torch Ginger (Etlingera elatior, also commonly known here as bunga kantan) to use as garnishing. The unopened buds are usually shredded thinly and added to flavor Chinese Rojak (a local fruit and vegetable salad mixed in special shrimp paste) and also to garnish Penang laksa. | Min's Garden

I’ve not posted on my Torch Gingers (Etlingera elatior) recently as they keep popping up and I didn’t want to spam you. But there are quite a few that are blooming now and more flowering buds have sprung up. They keep beckoning me to take their photos when I walk past them. | Min's Garden
