Does anyone know the name of dark green leafy plant that grows large white flower from edge of leaf?

I saw this plant in the waiting area of a nail salon and it is the most unique looking plant I have ever seen. I tried asking the salon owners for the name of the plant, but they didn't know.



The leaves are a bit "ruffled" as in, not flat. The flower grew from a thick stem that sprouted from the edge of the leaf. The flower is about 6-7 inches in diameter and if you look closely, it almost looks like there is a tongue inside. Once the bud began to bloom, it fully bloomed in a very short time.
