Thanks to Amy and Paulo for identifying the flower in my room. It is a Bird of Paradise. According to Amy, they grow all over San Diego (where she grew up) and are one of her favourite plants. They are a large Grass like plant standing about 4 feet tall and about 5 in diameter. The flowers bloom in groups of 3 and 4.

From Paulo: On the spa link for The Leela hotel (http://www.theleela.com/leelabang/spa/index.htm) it has a song playing. Could you ask someone there if the know what it is?

Both Anand and I are searching away for you Paulo and hope to have an answer (and CD with the song on it) for you soon.
