Alpinia sp blooming

This is an unknown Alpinia that came from Mark Collins. The tag is gone and I vaguely remember planting Alpinia Caerulea where this plant is growing. It's had constant growth for at least 5 years.

RE: Alpinia sp blooming

Forgot to update this. It is Alpinia tonkinensis. I actually ended up breeding it with Alpinia henryi and now have seeds ripening of the cross.
