Most commonly known as "Torch Ginger" this plant originated in Malaysia but it also thrives in the botanical gardens of Hilo region of The Big Island, Hawaii. The Zingiberaceae or Ginger family plants display remarcable beauty and this one stood out the most during my photographic frenzy that day. It always reminds me of the birth of curiosity and love for nature of my five year old son (then) and the conversations we had while enjoying the warm balmy nights of Hawaii.
