This top-performing house plant sports dramatic, arrow-shaped, dark green leaves, and elegant waxy flowers which appear throughout the year. It is best displayed in simple, modern pot, and the blooms, which come in white, red, pink, and a fashionable dark burgundy, are made up of a tear- shaped spathe (leaf-like sheath) and a long spadix (spike of tiny flowers). As well as its stylish good looks and obvious charm, the tail flower, or flamingo flower as it is sometimes known, is also quite easy to grow
