    The attached photographs were taken at the end of May at the edge of a heavily forested area in Wind Cave Nature Reserve.
    Can someone help me identify them?
    Thank you.

    I thought it looked gingery, so queried red ginger Sarawak and came up with Globba atrosanguinea. Here's a picture posted on flickr by Eric Hunt.
