Cleisocentron merillianum
Got the plant in bud, so I can't take the credit. But I also don't know how reliable of a bloomer this is. There is evidence this plant has been previously bloomed multiple times before.
These are ice blue. More white than blue. It's easier to appreciate in close up photos or with a jeweler's loupe for it's delicate coloration.
I suspect that there is quite a bit of color variation in the intensity of blue for this species.
You can see the contrast between sky blue and the ice blue of the flowers in one of my pics.
Vegetatively it's identical to Luisia spp. As in - they're terete leafed.
Each blossom is about 1/4" in diameter.
Enjoy.
