really need help please

Thanks in advance to whoever can help me identify these two varieties as to which is which. i would like to obtain seeds and not sure what is what??

These two have come up as the same plant interchangeable on several pages.

which one of these is the clustered flowered ginger and which one is the butterfly type flower? I'm very confused and if someone knows of a reliable seed source, please let me know. I would really like to get the yellow butterfly variety of this ginger.

Hedychium Flavescens

Hedychium Flavum

Thank you in advance

They both look very similar to me. Compare them for yourself on Gingersrus.com
Neither one is what I would call yellow.

Here is a link that might be useful: Flavum

I agree, that site shows they both look similar. but many others show different picturess for the two, and the same for the two. this is why im asking.

thanks for your help CF.
