Hedychium Beni Oran

I got this hedy a few yrs ago in a trade. The only info I could ever find on the name was from Aloha Tropicals and the description was totally different. I decided to order it for a comparison and guess what? The plant is exactly the same and still not comparable to the description offered. Emails for an explanation went unanswered.
Dave has a Beni ORAIN at his site, definitely not what I have. It is fragrant, 5 ft tall for me in less than optimum conditions. It does not bloom all at once like Tac Moto and Kahili. Any ideas?

The only thing I can say about ALoha Tropicals is, I have gotten so many mis-labeled plants from them in the past that I finally stopped ordering from them. I am not familiar with H. Beni Oran but whatever you have is very nice.

I have this hybrid in spike right now. I'll see what mine looks like when it's fully open and let you know if it's similar. I have it from two different sources and the one I have blooming now is from the second source not Aloha.

Thanks Scott, I look forward to the comparison.
