Does anybody know what plant this is?
 

My husband found these growing out in the yard...something we definitely didn't plant so it's a total mystery:

It's a variety of tropical ginger. Someone must have planted them because they grow from a tuber. Lots of different colors in the varieties. This one's a white one :evil: :biggrin:

Looks like Zingiber zerumbet. Those of you living in Florida have me beat, there is no way I'd find something like this growing in my yard. I'm jealous :(

Yeah, that's sort of what I thought. Common name Shampoo Ginger or Pinecone Ginger. I still don't think it's a volunteer.

Looks like an artichoke spurting flowers :coverlaugh:

That's being kind :blushing: I was thinking puking flowers (like hurl). :biggrin: :evil:

Thanks for the answers...

...and Ross, when we bought this property it was like a piece of the wilderness which we had to have cleared.
For sure...nobody planted this thing ;)

Is this guy a Native in your neck of the Florida woods? Just curious.

:scratchhead: ...no clue!

I guess I'm gonna have to check into that :)
