Help with plant ID

Is this Curcuma ‘Red Giant’? It has not bloomed yet, but I have scoured the internet and it's the only one it resembles.

I agree with Bihai, it does resemble "Scarlet Fever". If you are living close to Jeanerette, try asking the good folks at Stokes Tropicals.

I look like curcuma ornata to me This curcuma grows about 4' to 5' and blooms in early spring before the foliage come up I have grown it in about 5 hours of full sun to bright shade. In tha sun it gets a little taller. Have you split it up in the past year or 2 that alway slows the blooming down on them.
