Common names would include Flamingo Flower and Painter's palette. It likes bright light, with direct sun in the winter. Mine is in bloom right now too. To force blooming, try sticking the plant in a clear plastic bag, with an apple. The apple gives off ethylene gas and can stimulate flowering.

Apartment dwellers face many challenges and bringing nature indoors, is one of them. In the words of an old John Prine song, "move to the country."

Plants are people too? ” . . . blooming and beaming and just begging me to take it with me.”

Plants are people too?

You can see I'm not up on the technical end of this endeavor. And as far as direct sun in the winter goes, I'm afraid it's not happening in my apartment; there is some light but it's indirect. The apple suggestion is interesting. Thanks for the info, Michael. You can see I’m not up on the technical end of this endeavor.

Or possibly 2 different plants? Is it Spathiphyllum or Spathyllum? Or possibly 2 different plants?
