One of the plants from ECS was labeled Lagenandra dewitii. Although still a small plant, it flowered yesterday. Comparing this to pictures of Lagenandra spathes on Jan’s website, I think what I have here is really Lagenandra lancifolia.
Here are my pictures: I apologize for the bad pictures, the batteries in my flash died and I was in a rush. Just used the on board flash in my camera to make do.
The inside of the kettle is very ‘furry’. I tried to capture it but since its also incredibly dark purple, it was difficult to do so.
Heres the link to Jan’s website:
