Shampoo Ginger - Zingiber zerumbet

Hawaiians had several uses for `Awapuhi. The sap that is easily squeezed from the inflorescence was used as a body soap and shampoo and with a pleasant fragrance also.


It's has been wet summer so far, hence the rare appearance of the so called cone.

This year we may have 'El Nino' to thank, for a wet winter too.
