Very nice, Fred!
In five thousand years or so, that'll be our next new species of Heliamphora. Now....about that green thingy. ;D
Happy Growing,
Brian.

These are Aroids, the common name for members of the Araceae family of plants.
The bizarre combination of spathe and spadix, the inflorescence, sometimes referred to as a "flower", is a distinguishing feature of all aroids.
Another feature can be the odour of the inflorescence, stench may be a better word.
The ones I grow do not have this feature ( I learned a lesson many years ago with a voodoo lily).
