Costus spectabilis: 'Massonia' of tropical Africa

Dear Jacob,
I read your note and viewed your pix. The comment .......
" folks in climates with non-tropical winters can simply bring the pots
indoors and keep them dry on a shelf or in a box until the following
spring. Shallow wide bulb pans are best. I suspect this would grow well as
a potted tender perennial in the US South and East Coast."
........ got me intrigued and the pix are great, but the last
picture blew me away
Unreal. Now where can I get this... or when will you donate
donate rhizomes to the BX?
Gotta try this one at least once. Thanks for
this eye opener. Jim W.
