Curcuma zedoaria

This is another ginger that i bought together with the curcuma elata posted earlier. The colour is very dark purple in the beginning, turning into a bright purple later.

This ginger plant has nice leaves as well as flowers. The leaf has a purple band bordering the mid rib and runs more or less along the length of the leaf. The flower bracts on top are bright purple and the individual flowers are yellow in colour, giving a nice contrast.
