Hedychium coronarium

Clusters of white flowers, yellow marked, extending from cone shaped buds with big jungle green stems and leaves. These will flower in sunny gardens outdoors, but do so late in the year and on shorter stems, and will need winter protection. However they love a warmer greenhouse even more (even a huge pot protected in winter) when they will flower rather earlier than suggested. Fantastically fragrant.
