Torch Ginger, Island of Hawaii

This bewitching flower stopped us in our tracks on the trail near the Akaka Falls on the big island of Hawaii near Hilo.

Torch Ginger (latin name: Etlingera elatior) is also known by many other names. It can be found in many tropical countries, including Indonesia and Thailand, where the leaves, petals and seeds are prepared and eaten.
