Conch Ginger

Sort of a tropical jungle plant has a Very Very unique Flowers..hope you can name it.

Drought Smart Plants reply; Hi Ahmed, nope, this one is not familiar at all - and I know I would remember those flowers if I had ever seen them before.

Are the leaves associated with it? These look a bit like Crocosmia, so I'm thinking that this could be some related plant, but it's not reminding me of anything else. Sorry! I hope you'll post back if you find out any more about it.
