The inflorescence of Hedychium looks close to me.

I have sent the picture to the garden's Planthotline.

Hope the id is resolved.

Garg Ji, Carmelita Ji,

This has been identified by the garden's Planthotline as Hedychium coccineum.

Looks convincing to me.

Regards,

Aarti

Dear  ALL:

PLEASE listen to me with an open mind

this is not personal

but science

coccineum   means scarlet, red etc 

Does your dried up inflorescence look scarlet or 

give any indication that there is any scarlet in it.???

Looks brownish

violet wilts to brown

red wilts to brown

pink wilts to brown

green wilts to brown

heck, even white wilts to brown

some pink and white flowers wilt first to pink and then brown...

(this inflorescence has one reddish/pinkish hue on one floret)

can you  swear that  the wilted flowers were scarlet?

and that their form and anatomy was that of real Hedychium coccineum flowers?

be reasonable.

its diagnosis is

possibly Hedychium sp 

not otherwise classified.

ps if the hotline said its h. coccineum, they may have the seed packet/ bulb packet, 

may be one of them planted it

if they are the volunteers

may be they can send you a picture of the packet

if they do, we can revise our diagnosis.

hope that helps
