Spathiphyllum or peace lily macro
Spathiphyllum is a very common houseplant and does well with a bit of neglect and in dark spaces. I’m pretty sure that the white part is a bract, or a differently colored special leaf, and the true flower is the pebbly, spiky part. It was one of the very first houseplants I ever got to bloom. This particular one is in the Volunteer Park Conservatory, which is my favorite flower haunt in Seattle.

Such a soft, subtle yellow in this elegant flower!

Peace lily is a good plant to grow, I used to grow a lot of it in Singapore.
Peace Lily is good, grown in doors, it absorb poisonous fumes.
