Yes, definitely a Flamingo Flower, Anthurium sp.. I only know Anthurium scherzerianum, but there might be much more others. That's always the problem with exotic flowers/plants. You never now if it is a native one, introduced or cultivated one... http://pharm1.pharmazie.uni-greifswald.de/systematik/7_bilder/yamasaki/yamas674.jpg
