L. viridiflora has varieties with and without spotted leaves. It blooms now in the Northern Hemisphere. L vanzyliae blooms in the spring. The colors are similar, but to me L. viridiflora is more uniformly teal-blue colored throughout the flower, while L. vanzyliae is teal on the shoulder but more greenish lower down. Both are awesome species well worth growing!
