Maybe a melon sword?  Echinodorus osiris

Nice plant   How long did was it settled before it started putting out the flower stalk?  I just moved my melon sword from my low light tank where it was a clown loach salad bar to my new tank that's over 2 WPG with CO2 and it's putting out leaves like crazy.

Nice !!  I have a 8" Sword in my 150 low light tank that has a 12" stock slowly shooting to the surface. I don't think it's going to make it though. It was origanally in my 22" inch tall 125 and is now in a much taller 150 and the extra depth is affecting the light it is getting as the  leaves have started to brown and rot since the move. I would love to see it bloom at the surface though.... fingers crossed.

I've had in the tank about 8-9 months. No CO2. average light fert occasionally. I got it at an OVAS meeting from artw.

That was quick the flowers are already wilting

Yeah, the flowers don't really last very long.  My ruffled sword only flowered for 4 days max before the plantlets started growing in.
