This is an unusual little hybrid.  I have not yet seen a mature specimen yet so its growth potential and bloom are a mystery to me, but the foliage of the plant itself reminds me a lot of a harrisii-type plant with slightly thinner leaves.  It's been quite hardy so far, even handling some direct light here in San Diego
