Torch Ginger at Ubud Water Palace, Bali.




Torch Ginger (Nicolaia elatior)
This spectacular flower is one of the most beautiful of all flowering tropical plants in Bali. Both leaf and flower stalks emerge separately from underground tubers. The most common form has bright red flowers, though there is another with pink blossoms.
