Single Flower perhaps banana plant

Will this flower identify the plant? The plant had a single flower in July. The leaves are like a banana plant I think.

It seems to be Hedychium gardnerianum or Kahili ginger, originally from the Himalayas. Here an example on wiki. It is not a banana, it is actually a member of the ginger family Zingiberaceae.

It is poisonous for grazing animals.
