Mella, we have some, Got it from a fellow student last fall. To grow, just get a clump of fresh (young, creamy colored w/ a rosy blush)(farmers market has it most of the time) & use some, plant the rest (don't refrigerate). Edible gingers are only a few species of the ginger family. This site has some interesting info:

Still haven't harvested ours (it is just a baby clump now....) so can't tell you about whether the taste was as yummy as the original (the students parents live in Hilo & "have a ton ginger all over the place".)
