Roscoea cautleyoides

Have you tried Roscoea purpurea, Mark? It's later blooming and
doesn't have as many cosmetic issues at this season. I'll try to
take a photo of a couple of the cultivars currently in growth here --
one in particular has quite striking leafage, as well as attractive flowers.

Last year a plant of Roscoea cautleyoides set lots of seed in late
summer/early fall, so I scratched in some of the seed near the
mother plant, among the bark mulch. A couple weeks ago, I noticed a
fresh crop of seedlings.

But here's the dilemma, do I really want these seedlings? I'm on
the fence with Roscoea,
