This cross and the reverse have been made many times, it even appears as a natural hybrid (T. x Nidus). This particular plant has leaves that are much more glaborous than the aforementioned x Nidus, and stays a little more closed and upright. As do many ionantha hybrids, this cross produces beautiful color during bloom to attract pollinators
