Alok-- A Brownea species, native to South America, though I'm not familiar enough with them to give you the correct species. They are all very beautiful (and somewhat similar) in flower. Hopefully someone can provide the correct species.

Flowers reddish in color and the fully opened inflorescence was of the size of a large fist. the flowers were slightly fragrant and pretty fragile. Alok
