Nursery contributed plant descriptions

As the name implies the inflorescence on this baby is humongous! It blooms large and heavily from late spring to first frost. This Globba is from Thailand and I don't know what species it is but the grower named it Grandiflora so I have referred to it as such. The color is somewhere between mauve and pink. You have to see this one to believe the blossom size.
