I looked it up dan, but the spadix of the flower above just doesn't look quite like that of the Spathiphyllum species. I mean, it's not spiky like that of the Spaths. Could it possibly be an Anthurium?
ceherzog
or perhaps an anthurium, same family as the peace lily, but they are usually white http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthurium

its a species of Spathiphyllum http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_lily
