Anthurium sp.
I know the name of this flower really well, but it slips my mind!
Growing in Rancho Naturalista. Primary pre-montane Caribbean slope rainforest at 2970ft (900m)
thanks Cynthia. Anthurium, of course!
Thanks also to sarah for your suggestion, but I think it is anthurium.
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...

Ah yes jopy, that's the name that was on the tip of my tongue! Knew it started with an 'a'! Thanks.
