Default What about this cross?

I was in the Greenhouse and it appears that my L. anceps and Schomburgkia
splendida will both be in flower at the same time. Both of these monsters
have flowers on long inflorenses but the flowers are very different. I was
thinking....what would happen if they were crossed?

A search of the RHS website shows this to be Schombolaelia Splendid Spire
registered by SBOE in 2003.

Picture of this is at

Those of you in the know, is this a worthy cross? Sounds like a lot of fun.
The registered cross shows the seed parent as the Schomburgkia. If I get
the change should I try it both ways?
