Red Heart?

My neighbor asked me to find information on a plant her mother-in-law has (and which I have never seen), so any direction you can point me in would be greatly appreciated.

The card on the plant identified it as a "Red Heart". My neighbor says it looks like a Peace Lily but with *red* flowers. I've searched on that name but haven't found anything helpful.

Does anyone have *any* ideas?

I've never heard it called red heart, but it sounds like an Anthurium to me. They come in a variety of colors http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/adv_search.php?searcher%5Bcommon%5D=&searcher%5Bfamily%5D=&searcher%5Bgenus%5D=anthurium&searcher%5Bspecies%5D=&searcher%5Bcultivar%5D=&searcher%5Bhybridizer%5D=&search_prefs%5Bblank_cultivar%5D=&search_prefs%5Bsort_by%5D=rating&images_prefs=with&Search=Search

Oh, that may be it. I'll print off the info and pix for her. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

As to misidentification on "plant cards" - that's not exactly a big surprise... 2 plants from my husbands' funeral were misidentified. One was labeled a "Panda plant", but actually a Pancake Kalanchoe. The other was labeled as a "Zebra Plant" but actually a Calathea Ornata....I had nearly killed it by the time I found out what it *really* was.
