I received this plant last year in trade with a company I supplied some plants they needed .. along with a few requests I said "surprise me". One of the plants they sent me was a rather plain tropical looking plant with spear shaped leaves. Delighted with the other plants I said "whatever". The plant spent the winter in the greenhouse and utterly disappeared by January .. I stuck my finger in the pot and the rhizome was firm so I forgot about it. Come Spring, the spear shaped leaves started reappearing and I repotted it with fresh mix and stuck it outside. About 3 days ago I was walking through my "jungle" of plants at the end of the yard and my jaw dropped. The plain tropical plant with spear shaped leaves had bloomed. I was stunned!
