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.
