Dear All,
Can anyone identify this houseplant for me? It has just flowered for
the first time. Here are 5 pics of varying quality taken from
different angles.

The plant is Eucharis amazonica or Eucharis x grandiflora. See here for
further info:

You should find that it has a rather strange scent, which some like and
some don't. I have grown this plant for many years, and it seems to
flower when it wants to, sometimes more than once a year, sometimes
missing a year or two. It will slowly bulk up, and after a few years you
will have several bulbs to give away.
