I found this beautiful pink ginger in Fairchild Tropical Garden. I'd like to know its botanical name. Its just glorious! Its located on the east side of the pathway going towards to the Desert islands and the Vine Arbor.
If one passes this ginger patch, the next exhibit on the same side of the walkway would be the large Water Lily pond going northwards.

I'm not sure it IS a ginger, but I id it as such, since it was in the 'ginger patch' I'll do a collage and add another ginger (red) which was adjacent to this one.

If anyone knows its botanical name, I'd love to have it, as I'd like to see it growing in my garden.

Someone suggested it might be a banana flower. I did not see any banana plants in this patch, but I'll check to make sure next time I'm at FTG.
