Resurrection Lily has broad flat foliage that is deep bronze in color with
various patterns marking the leaves. This is the parent plant for many of the
most popular Kaempferia hybrids. The flowers are showy by Kaempferia
standards, mauve-violet with a white spot in the center, and shaped somewhat
like Impatiens. The plant will bloom through most of the summer.
Native to South East Asia, the plant apparently dies out in winters. Bulbs
that have laid dormant and leafless, hiding through winter, reappear out of
the ground. That gives it the common name Resurrection Lily.
