Ginger Flower?

So, I'm pretty much a newbie to growing ginger (this is my second go at it).  I seem to be doing a bit better this year and even have what appears to be a flower developing.  This didn't happen the first time around, so I'm taking it as a sign that I'm doing something right (I increased the temp & humidity and added some shade).

I'm wondering whether to leave the flower on or would I be better off removing it so the plant can focus its energy on the rhizomes (like removing scapes from garlic)?

Thanks in advance for any help.

There's a variety of ginger (myoga) that is grown specifically for the edible flower buds.
I'd remove it and experiment with eating it.

I'd leave it personally, just to see what happens. First time I got a flower on mine I panicked and cut it off. Plant was fine either way but I've always been a bit curious what would have happened if I'd just let it go.
