Love it! Plants in the Araceae family (or Arum family) are some of my favorite plants.

They really are amazing structures ... I always look forward to seeing them pop up!

Yes, I do too. I just posted a pic of my Spathiphyllum 'Sensation' the other day...however, we've had a horrible heat wave - Monday the temp was 108F/ 42.2 C. (some places were much hotter) and the flower wilted very badly (even in the shade).

Wow ... that is hot! No wonder the poor thing wilted!

Yes, this heat wave which started last Saturday has been pretty horrible..it's not quite as bad now, but will last another 3 more days.
I revived my Spathiphyllum 'Sensation' by drowning it in water...although, it did take a long time (many hours) to perk back up again.
