'Walk Fast'




Came across these by the escalator as we came up from the basement car park at Gardens by the Bay. I took some photos and searched online for identification.
It is Xiphidium caeruleum or commonly known as 'Walk Fast', Cola de Paloma or Soskia. A native of the West Indies. Was it some how telling me to walk fast in the gardens and get a good exercise. More interesting facts about this plant here.
