What an interesting flower! Even looks like a shell with that shape and coloring! What is the foliage like?

Alpinia zerumbet has thick and leathery leaves. In the typical variety they are completely green and in the variegata cultivar, leaves have yellowish-white bands and stripes, which are very ornamental.
Vigorous, rhizomatous herbs, in clumps, of China and Japan, 2-3m high, with numerous arched stems.
