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.

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.
