If I've identified this correctly, this is a Ginger Plant. I've seen it before but didn't know what it was. This was in a floral display in the Home and Garden section at the L.A. County Fair.
Very nice shots of a delightful flower. We do indeed have this flower here in Hawaii. People call it "pink cone ginger." I am not 100% certain, but I think the one in your photos is the pink variant of Alpinia purpurata.

That's beautiful. I have Hidden Ginger and it blooms a lighter pink bloom.
Darla - It is beautiful and I think I'll be looking to buy this. :-)
I love the color..nice for backdrop decoration...
How beautiful! It seems very exotic to me, since my garden is in a climate zone that is way too cold for it!
Whatever it is - it's gorgeous! Reminds me of feather boas! ;)
Cheers, Klaus
Norm - I love the color too. It's what first drew my eyes to it.
Mary - I wanted to call it a Hawaiian flower but didn't know if that was where it is originally from.
Klaus - You're right! It does look like a boa! :-)
Gorgeous! And I like that last photo w/ the backdrop of the moss!

Very nice subject.
What a beautiful plant and I love the way it twists and turns! Great photos!
Oh, wow! How magnificently beautiful!
This is beautiful. I love it. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks to all. I'm so glad you found them as beautiful as I did!
:-)
Wow, it's a beautiful color. I love ginger root tea, and I like the surprise of shavings of ginger in my food, too.
