Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery Shampoo Ginger or Pine Cone Ginger (Zingiber zerumbet ) grows to about 7 ft (2.1 m) tall with long narrow leaves arranged oppositely along the stem. In mid to late summer, separate stalks grow out of the ground with green cone-shaped bracts that resemble pinecones. The green cone turns red over a couple of weeks and then small creamy yellow flowers appear on the cone. In some locales this plant is known as the “pine cone ginger”, but it is most widely known as the “shampoo ginger” for the creamy liquid substance in the cones.

At first I thought this might be a fungi. I was amazed it was soooo flourescent orange and wondered if someone had painted it??? On my return journey up the path there was more of this moss on the other side of the tree (you can see this in the sister print). I did google orange fungi but nothing came up….Is this possibly a moss instead? Here’s the other side of the fallen tree with more of this fascinating bright orange moss or fungi. !
Here’s the sister shot to Orange Moss. Taken at Flecker Botanical Gardens in Cairns. I have added some light and cropped a little bit of the dark part of the tree off but I have not altered the colours at all. Isn’t this an amazing orange. I really thought that this only ever came out of a spray can that colour :O)).
