ID Confirmation Needed: Bronze Peacock?

Clearwater, FL(Zone 9b)

I just picked this up and it wasn't labelled -- I think it's a Bronze Peacock Ginger, but I'm not 100% after looking at the plant file pics.

Can anyone confirm or correct?

TIA.

It would be helpful to have a picture of the flowers, too. Have you seen flowers?

Yep, they were little purple ones.

I'll try to take a pic next time they show up for a better description. ;)

if they were four-petaled and purple, then they probably are bronze peacock. The botanical name is Kaempferia pulchra. Here are photos and descriptions from Dave:

They were indeed four petaled and purple! I didn't think you'd get it from my brief description of flowers. ;)

Thanks for the additional info and confirmation, Heather.
