Field Notes

Description:

When I took these pictures were more people to shoot them and the place was protected or was private. I was always curious about this plant, but never did find out the species.

Thanks Craig for the ID Now I know the species i really should not put it in Portugal´s Biodiversity

Stunning plant but from Eastern Asia so weather it should be considered part of Portugel's Biodiversity is debatable. Hopefully it's not jumping the fence out of the protected place! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpinia_zerumbet
