Bamboo Ginger

My 2 year old Bamboo Ginger also known as "Luyang-itim" (Alpinia luteocarpa). This is part of my herbaceous layer. The herbaceous layer in a forest is a crucial level of vegetation, characterized by plants with non-woody stems, like grasses, forbs, and ferns. These plants are typically below one meter in height and play vital roles in the ecosystem, including nutrient cycling and providing food and habitat for wildlife. This is used in traditional Chinese medicine. 😍🌱🌱
