hedychium gardnerianum
Side of a trail
Looks similar to H. gardnerianum. The leaves on this plant look narrower but that may rolling in reaction to the weather or it may just be a narrow leaved form. Whatever it is, it's a long way from home and that's quite scary if this is next to a trail in the wild. Several Hedychium species have proven to be very noxious, weeds outside their native habitats, really choking out native vegetation.
