This hybrid is somewhat of a mystery as the bloom does not resemble the bloom of either parent.  The structure of the plant itself does however resemble both parents in many ways.  Soft green leaves that curl more than a xerographica but holds the signature rosette shape of xerographica.  This is likely a capitata streptophylla hybrid
