Notes:

Another plant I bought at a yardsale. Friends have said canna lily family, but I don’t think so. I think it blooms, so must be in the fall. Anybody know what it could be?

   If it has fragrant white flowers at summer’s end, it is a ginger lily (Hedychium coronaria)- great for late summer color and scent.

   I agree with all of you; definitely ginger lily, probably Hedychium coronarium
