This picture was my daily jigsaw puzzle. I'd love to get one as I love the red stem. I know it's a long shot, but can anyone ID this for me please?

I'm really not great at identifying plants but maybe this one? Crepe Ginger (Hellenia speciosa)

Certainly a type of Costus.

Need to seed the flower head to figure a species.

Thanks Dave, I just liked the red stems. The Costus I already have do not have the red stems.

As a joke, here it is said that the plant grows fast and is hard to remove, and that's why it's called Cost-us.
