Fun Fact #41: Meet Zingiber spectabile , a very cool looking plant. It has these rather large inflorescences that look like honey-comb especially as they are yellow coloured (that slowly turn red!). The little 'cups' of the inflorescence hold water (take a look at the picture!). It's from the same genus as ginger and the water collected in these cups carry the very same ginger smell.

trancenova · Answer

I'm having trouble finding where it is from beyond 'tropical' places. Though it seems you can buy it in many places. Your best bet will bet will be to find the links and see what you can find :)
