Ginger with pineapple scented leaves

I have a pot full of this pineapple scented (leaves smell fantastic!) ginger. I do not know what it's name is, or if it flowers, might anyone know?

Aloha swimmingwaterlily,
Can you provide a bit of a description if you are unable to post a picture? It may not be a true ginger at all, like blue ginger for instance. There is an herb ,asarabacca (Asarum Europaeum) that has pineapple scented foliage. I do not know if that is what you are speaking of but its a thought. check out this link
Let us know , Melanie

Here is a link that might be useful: Asarum Europaeum

Hula Gal, Thanks for the tip, but no, mine is not of the
Asarum family. I will try to get a pic up, but I think I will have to wait for it to flower, because the leaves look like many of the alpinias.
Thanks again!

Where did you get this plant, I have been looking for some and can't find anything around here, Jen
