Hey Margritte!
	I must have missed your original message.  I have some white ginger
growing in my yard that I got from Micheline a few years ago.  I needed
something tall that would grow in front of my electric meter, but not
over it.  It has wintered every year just fine, and gives beautiful white
blooms in the summer.  I have yet to harvest any, (although I know I can)
because I wanted it to get established first, which it has done
beautifully.  It is in an area that is damp and shady, right under a
tulip poplar tree.  It does get some sunlight, but not a whole bunch.  
Hope this helps, 
	Christianna
