Holc. flavescens x V. coerulescens
This is an as yet unnamed hybrid (can't remember where I bought it, possibly from Ten Shin Gardens, Taiwan). It is a smallish plant (abt 9" across), and it has started a basal keiki.
So far, it only blooms once a year, with flowers about one inch. But, it blooms sequentially, so there are flowers on the spike for a long time. It bloomed first time last year; at the tip of that spike it formed a keiki, which has finally rooted now.
My new cell phone takes poor close-ups (I will try to remember to bring my camera next time I go to the greenhouse).
