Description Crepe ginger is a tall and dramatic landscape plant with large dark green leaves arranged on the stalk in a spiral. This Costus can grow to 10 ft (3.1 m) tall in frost-free areas, but typically grows to about 6 ft (1.8 m) tall in cooler regions where it is root hardy but dies back in winter. The flowers appear in late summer or early fall, and are quite unusual looking. They form on red 4 in (10.2 cm) cone-shaped bracts, with several 2 in (5 cm) pure white crinkled flowers protruding from each cone. The flowers look like crepe paper - thus the common name of crepe ginger. After the flowers fade away, the attractive red cone-shaped bracts remain.

Who "discovered" the islands of the Pacific and why did Paul Gauguin choose to go to what is now called French Polynesia? Synopsis: One cannot discuss Gauguin without an understanding of what were the "versions" of Polynesia (and especially French Polynesia) that were presented to the world in the 18th century and 19th century. Where did the original inhabitants of Pacific islands come from and when did they arrive in what is now called French Polynesia? Who were the numerous explorers who placed the islands of the Pacific on world maps? Gauguin's life and his eventual death in the Marquesan islands will also be covered #2.

:: The Project :: Moorea 2003 - Tupapaurau Channel The Channel of the Many Ghosts (Tupapaurau) The quick setup of this campaign was triggered by the discovery of many shaped stone objects near the Tupapaurau Channel (The Channel of the Many Ghosts) on Moorea Na Too E Va'u No Aimeho Nui In response to a request made by Mrs. Louise Peltzer, Minister of Culture, Higher Education and Research in French Polynesia, Mr. Robert Veccella, Head of the GRAN branch in Tahiti , agreed to manage a comprehensive excavation campaign on the site. The significance of the excavation area is due to its dimensions (250 by 50 meters) and to the number of the objects it holds, which has been estimated to several hundreds. Those objects have been described in situ by the GRAN Team in Polynesia, and are identified as : anchors, plummet sinkers for fishing lines or nets, adzes, pestles, axle shaped stones, and maybe standing stones and seats which were used in marae (Polynesian places of worship). Some other stone types could possibly be found on the site.
