Tacca integrifolia, White Bat Flower, flowers several times a year here in the warmer months. They are all flowering heavily right now. This particular specimen has 10 inflorescences on it now, the most I have seen on one plant.

They like shade, moist soil and humidity, similar to Spathiphyllum or Anthurium. They have tolerated down to 27F, the folige gets burnt but it recovers.

This made my day. Lowest temperatures here are 34 F; so I guess I'll leave mine outdoors in the winter even though our winter has more cold days than in Orlando.
