Beautiful but unknown plant

Hello friends. This plant appeared in my garden, about 2 years ago. This morning, I discovered a flower.

I’m on the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe

Thank you for any insight

I hope you get an answer from one of our tropical experts. It seems to have flowers like a ginger and leaves like an aroid. I’m curious.

Has the flower opened any further? Any chance if more pix?

That would make sense because the flower does look like Verbena. Maybe the wind blew a seed there. I may have to purchase some seeds. It's beautiful! There is no other Verbena in the yard. The leaves of the large plant are different from anything else around. I guess I'll have to watch to see if it blooms a different color. Thanks! Suzi

The leaves do closely match on that one. Not exactly a stunning plant, huh? Doesn't ring any bells for anything we might have planted either. I'll watch it and see how it goes. Thanks.

If you want a real treat, try growing some tree peonies. They are a little pricey, but well worth the beautiful colors that you can't get from regular peonies, like yellow, candystripe (red and white), purple, lilac, and other pastel colors that don't exist with deciduous peonies. Kevin

I question the validity of this plant. I showed it to experts in tropicals and nothing. It looks like a flower was inserted over the stem.

I agree. The foliage would seem to be an Aroid; the flower is inconsistent with an Aroid.

I would call foul.

I’m glad you’ve said that. I couldn’t square the leaves with the flower but I don’t know much about tropicals.
