Zingiber spectabile (maybe syn. with Z. spectabilis) Flowers (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.
