Roscoea x beesiana ‘Alba’
Thick, clumping, upright stems are sheathed in long wavy-edged green foliage. Wispy, creamy-yellow orchid-like flowers rise on short scapes out of the tops of the stems. Unique and very pretty. Speaking from experience: this plant is late to break dormancy so try not to put a shovel through it. Luckily my plant survived its accidental division!
