The one in the center whose foliage is beneath the flowers of Hedychium appears to be Spathiphyllum (Peace Lily).

What about these ginger lilies?

Their offer is reasonable. What about group purchase? Who will manage this time? They have good bulb collections with 50% off.

Kaleem Sahib,

The prices are on a higher side despite the discount and most of the varieties are out of stock.

Interesting article and it was news for me that the buds and flowers are edible which i would't advise experimenting as the word "reportedly edible" used in the article has created some doubts in my mind. Kaleem sahib you may wish to experiment and inform us about the outcome as i do not wish to end up being dead by eating buds of Ginger Lily based on heresay
The fragrance mentioned resonates with my view.

Today I tried to chew a petal as an experiment and believe me............ I am okay, petal was tastless and toxic free.

I read in an article that if a person mistakenly eats a tadpole assuming to it to be a mushroom, there is no immediate reaction and the person tends to die suddenly after 4-5 days and those thinking of growing mushrooms are advised to buy them from the shelves of the supermarket to minimize the risk.
