it looks like Kaempferia mansonii, there are a lot more Kaempferias out there than most peopple realize. Unfortunately many are overlooked, because people say 'oh, I have peacock ginger' not realizing how different they can be from one another. Wonderful ground cover in a shade garden.
picture is of Kaempferia rotunda 'Silver Diamonds' blooms. It blooms first in the spring and then the foliage appears and the foliage is just as beautiful as the orchid-like blooms.
