''[[Zingiber]] spectabile'' (maybe syn. with [[Z. spectabilis]]) [[Flower]]s (or rather the [[inflorescence]]) are long cylinders, with yellow bracts that turn a scarlet red over time. The actual flowers come out of these bracts in late [[summer]], and are small, whitish-cream, with a double lobed dark purple lip which has yellow spots. Deep green leaves are long, with a lighter green downy on the undersides.
