Ginger - Friday flowers

Ms Dao, my maid, visits once every two weeks, a total self indulgence.  She is absolutely lovely.  She always leaves flowers for me, often these torch ginger flowers, which are prolific in the jungle.
Initially I thought it was a form of waratah,
It is also known as "Porcelain Rose" and its scientific name is Etlingera elatior.
Enjoy the long weekend.
