Llama Ears?

Llama ears are usually referred to as 'banana ears' as that is what they resemble. If you remember, a dear cyber friend sent me a beautiful planter bouquet when Chungara died. These lily type flowers (don't know the name of the plant) were only spikes sticking up when it arrived.

They have now unfurled and although not banana shaped could look like llama ears!

I had to take a picture and share... this was a Mother's Day present one year, a puzzle put together and framed.

I'm not sure of the scientific name of that plant, Dawn but my mothered sold them in her flower shop and referred to them as Peace Lilies.

I don't know if this is the correct name either but my Grandfather called this plant a Prayer plant.
