Exotic? What is this flower, Help please.

My daughter bought this at a garage sale a year ago. It bloomed and stumped me. It likes direct sun inside, but doesnt do well outside. drinks a ton of water.

Hey! We've got one of those. Thanks folks. We'd been calling it "Dragon-spitting-pearls" cause it looked sorta like one we saw in China by that name. I think we may have got the colours reversed though. If anybody has a picture of the real Dragon spitting pearls I'd appreciate a memory jog.
