Leaves not right for scaly buttons, although flower looks close

I mean, there is not much of the foliage viable so it is hard to make that call. I went with what I could see of the flower bracts in photo 4, they are fairly distinctive.

Yeah I was pretty sure if this too, just hard to see on phone

Yes could have been a better picture of leaves - they encircle the stalk in a few layers
