That's a cross between Neo. falcata and Rhy. coelestis.
The blooms are very fragrant.

beautiful!
are these seasonal bloomers, do you know?
good growing! hoping to get mine blooming (I tried very hard to kill the first year or so I had it - it gets LOTS of credit for refusing to die! It has rebounded extremely well, in a short time!)

great picture and flower. does it smell like a neo? do you have any full plant pictures?

I'm not trying to be mean, but are you sure that is a Neostylis lou sneary? To me that looks like a regular neofinetia falcata. All of the lou snearys that I have seen have a deep blue, almost purple coloration on the edges of all the petals. Mine is in bloom now with two spikes flowering and two more growing.

there is Lou Sneary 'Bluebirds' that has a blue lip, and hue to it, but (I believe ?) any cross of the two species Neo. falcata and Rhy. coelestis will be Neostylis Lou Sneary, regardless of the color of the progeny

Here is the photo of this plant which is mounted on a piece of tree fern.
The blooms do really look like those of Neo. falcata. But it is easy to tell them from each other by observing the plants.
My plant blooms several times in summer and autumn. It never blooms in winter.
I also have Neo. falcata which usually blooms in spring here.

I think it is a neostylis, because if you look at the nectar parts, they are much shorter than a regular neo fal. These plants are highly susceptible to changes of color due to temps. I have mine blooming right now and it lived outside for the first few blooms and the blooms are almost entirely blue because it bloomed in 80 degree weather with lows in the 50s. The rest bloomed inside where the temps stay above 70 consistently. Those blooms are mostly white.
