where did you get it, nick?

there are soooo many that look alike, it's very difficult to tell from pictures alone. it helps to narrow i.d. down a bit if you got it from a well known source, and approximate year it was purchased, how tall the plant is, when it blooms in the season, and size of the blossom. but even then it's difficult, unless a purchased cultivar is grown side-by-side with the one in the picture, and that may not even guarantee it's identity unless it can be genetically i.d.ed.

it looks like an ensata, but which variety. Shrug! (?)

Does look like a JI, but there are many purple ones with yellow signal spots. Have you had it long? Did you ask the vendor you bought it from what it may be? That is a good place to start.
