Have you tried google yet?


Yes, tried google image search with no luck.
Closest suggestion was some kind of Heliconia.

ID confirmed.....Shell ginger (Alpinia zerumbet)

Each of those buds will open into red/yellow flowers

eta thx to brusly for the prompt to search "ginger"

The shell ginger blooms only if the foliage doesn't freeze back. It performs best after mild winters.
