yes it is a species,
and i agree, species are imho far more interesting for me than hybrids.
hybrids are more showy, yes, but they lack the botanical value you can find within the species.
loddigesi coerulea is a nice rare form/ but i see it more pink than true coerulia on the second pic, the first shows more coerulea but i bet that the real thing looks more bluish? might be the light ? or probably the camera did not capture the bluish tone?
thanks for sharing
Cheers
Antonio.
