I've been considering growing some turmeric and can't decide whether to grow the yellow or orange type. Any suggestion as to the best type to grow and why?

UPDATE: Krogers got some rhizomes in so it looks like my choice is orange.

An update! One of the Turmeric rhizomes has put up a shoot! Hopefully it will survive and grow.

I'm not sure about this plant. It seems to be growing but the leaf it has put out is awfully pale looking. I have moved it to a larger pot and watered it with a weak fertilizer. I have no idea if this is normal for Turmeric. On the plus side it does appear to be growing. :?

It's now putting out its third leaf and looking greener. Success!

The rest of the Turmeric rhizomes are now putting up shoots. Looks like I will have about five plants.
