The inflorescence is green when young and then turns to red gradually.
If you press the round thing, it oozes out the fragrant nectar and
water.

Yes Curcuma does look like a bit of Orchid because of the rostellum
like structure. But there is no pollinia in Curcuma, there are proper
anthers.

Actually it is more close to Asparagaceae according to recent
findings. I hope you know that Liliaceae is now in another group
Liliales and Amaryllidaceae in Asparagales.
Its complicated but in simple words, Orchidaceae is more close to
Asparagaceae and Amaryllidaceae and Zingiberaceae is more close to
Commelinaceae. and both are in two different groups (scientifically
speaking Orders).

Dear Friends,
I just would like to point out the differences between Curcuma and
Zingiber IN TERMS OF LEAVES based on Backer & Bakhuizen (1963) Flora
of Java.
Curcuma: leaves less than ten, distichous, lower one sheathing,
penninerved, petiole proper well developed, shorter than leaf sheath
belonging to it.
Zingiber: leaves numerous, distichous, the lower one reduced and
sheath like, pinnately nerved, petiole very short or absent.
Best Wishes,
Pudji Widodo
