I've seen the plants flowering on El Yunque in Puerto Rico, so I can certainly confirm the flowers are pretty. But how on earth do you get them to flower "domestically". I've several times planted ginger - along with vietnamese mint, lemon grass, epazote and various other exotica not too easy to find in backwoods France, but although the Ginger grew, it never really extended its rhizomes or flowered.
All the best - Ian
