Alpinia purpurata ginger flower

These are vivid Panther, love the shape what are they?

These really stand out against the green...

I'll have a guess, Is it Ginger??

Thanks all, yes it is a ginger plant, I've put the name of the plant above.

Our gardens are dying down for the wintter, so it's great to see your plants.

Thanks Chrispook, this is going into our hotter season too.

I love these plants...they remind so much of Hawaii. Do you see the pink variety growing in your area?

Thanks Delonix1, yes I've seen the pink variety but I dont have it growing anywhere near my compound.

Panther,

Thanks for the quick response!

I wish I could grow these plants here...however, I don't think they would do well here -- our water is so hard it would kill the leaves off too quickly. Most other speices of Alpinia do well here though. I may have to experiment with one. I know a nursery that sells the pink, red and white varieties of this plant.
