Looks like Bird of Paradise (Strelitzia reginae) to me. There aren't
too many web pages with good pictures of the whole plant, but I found
one he http://www.flowers.org.uk/plants/pla...strelitzia.htm




No, I have the very same plant you have, and those strelitzias are not
quite the same as my plant or yours. They are variegated, the leaves
are more heart-shaped, and there are multiple stems whereas yours (and
mine) have no stems to speak of. At any rate, your plant is very
hardy,
will grow one spike at a time from the center, and does not sunburn
when i put it outside for the summer (in part shade).
