"Thanks again, Dan, to show me ( a new spotter for Project Noah) the proper way!"
I am glad you found the proper ID. Once you have it, there is no need to suggest it for your own spotting. You can just add the proper information into the common and scientific names and add your link. Great spotting too! I love the sharpness of the buds and color contrast.
"Thank you, Dan! According to your suggestion I got the correct ID and have suggested."
I was going to suggest Costus as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Costus
is this the plant with leaves similar to a spiral staircase?
