Spathiphyllum or peace lily
I used to grow a Spathiphyllum plant like this in the old days when I had lots of houseplants. It actually flowered for me, which is remarkable. The leaves are a nice, dark green and it can manage on pretty low light and some neglect. This lovely specimen, recently seen in the Volunteer Park Conservatory in Seattle, was multi-flowering.

The shadows and natural light in this shot are great, helps to accentuate the feeling of length. Did you use a refective screen or was it just light coming in from back windows?

Actually, it was a ray of sunlight making its way through the glass panels of the walls or ceiling. Glad you like it, and thanks for visiting.

I like the subtle shadow in your composition. This is a very beautiful specimen. I have one too but the flowers are not so big.
Beautiful shot.

Well now, this is one of those coincidences that are not coincidences, maybe. My shadow shot is a Peace Lily today as well. Yours is wonderful as always.
Peace then, to all

Very nice. I like the detail and coloring of the back on the bloom to the right
