Costus Speciosus, crape ginger


Please click on our earlier Sep. 4 entry on Costus. The contents of this post will be deleted later.




This is a plant growing wild in Negros and I was happy to find it in Paradise Ranch, Pampanga. The plant is native to Sunda Islands, Indonesia. Its roots has some medicinal value, with aphrodisiac properties!
