Yes I also thought it looked like ginger! I would stick my hand down into the soil and feel for a rhizome .. That would make my day to find wild Ginger

Thanks Guys, you're both probably right.

Here's a photo of the root



These next photos are of the wild ginger that I'm accustomed to seeing in the jungle.
