Bloom: Large, compound inflorescence with up to a dozen long waxy bracts that range in color from green to pink.  Flowers are light purple, almost magenta

Light: Strong indirect light or filtered light

Not 100% sure the parentage of this is correct, the bloom structure doesn't closely resemble either parent all that much.  It is however a very attractive foliage plant with soft gently recurved leaves that have a slightly recurved shape
