Stenorrhynchos speciosum
This is the perfect house plant! It grows in potting soil, doesn't need much light, likes the same temperatures that we do, and has beautiful foliage so it's attractive even when not in bloom. After blooming, leaves die back, but the new growth starts almost immediately. I'm surprised that more people don't grow this one. There are some related genera that grow under the same conditions and are just as attractive... I'll post as they come into bloom over the next month or so.
