Habitat:

Amazonia Exhibit, Mesker Park zoo and Botanical Gardens, Evansville, IN, USA

Notes:

(As of 3/31) misako.hill seems to think this flower is in the genus Anthurium, and I am inclined to agree. However, any help determining the actual species would be very much appreciated.

@ KarenL I will update this find as soon as we can determine the exact species of this flower. As of now, all we have been able to determine is the genus (Anthurium). Once we can determine the species (or determine that it cannot be determined), I will update the entry with the proper common and scientific names. I hope to have an answer soon, and any botanists in the Project Noah community are invited to assist in this endeavor.

Welcome to Project Noah Paul! Now that Misako has identified this beautiful flower for you please could you update the common & scientific names in Edit so that this spotting can come of the "unknown" list. Thanks!
