UPDATE:
They are Zingiber zerumbet (Red Pine Cone Ginger Lily) and I took the photo in my husband’s aunt’s yard, but I wasn’t able to ask her what they were.
Anybody out there know what they are?

No idea what they are, but they look spectacular. My Snapshot is at http://goo.gl/O2D5sX, and I have plants I don’t know the name of as well!
They look like some sort of ginger plant.
Thanks Louise! Peggy Ann looked it up and they are Red Pine Cone Ginger Lily.
I have no idea what they are but I think they’re gorgeous!
Look like red pine cones! Hope someone can tell us what they are! Neat!
Found them online! Red Pine Cone Ginger Lily! Louise was right!
They have a tropical look to them. They do look like some kind of ginger plant. Whatever they are they’re very pretty.
They are fabulous, how exotic.
They look familiar…but I am hopeless at “naming” things. I’m very curious now…thanks for sharing.

For those of you who were wondering, these are in my husbands aunt’s yard.
What an interesting looking species! Are they a flower or a fruit?
Hi Arti~ It’s a plant.
They DO look like pinecones! How lovely!
