It appears, from the leaf and stalk structure, to be a type of ginger plant.

Does that make it edible?

I don’t know about that–however, it’s in the same family. I’ve noticed that roots of ginger plants in my yard smelled the same as edible ginger. I’ll research it and get back to you.

The short answer on edibility–only a few of the 1300 species of ginger are edible, per a Mississippi State University article. Who knows, which is edible, and which isn’t? That’s way over my head.

I appreciate that you went to the trouble. Thank you. I’ll refrain from eating them, much as I do mushrooms I find in the wild.

The sun glistening on the drop of moisture..or perhaps just a white part of the petal strike me as an exclamation mark on this beautiful shot.
