This was acquired as T. dugesii but I’m almost certain it is not that and it is actually a T. caput medusae hybrid. This is a cool plant with long leaves that eventually relax and recurve down.  It has a semi bulbous base so make sure it gets good air flow.  This plant will reward you with a long lasting, showy bloom that colors up nicely with strong light
