Yes Katie, it is.
Having seen this plant in person just about 3 weeks ago, guessing it was definitely too easy for you

Yes, but you should be impressed that I remembered what it was without having to ask.  That doesn't happen very frequently.
Sorry to have spoiled it for others, though. You can delete my answer above if you'd like.

No, I don't know which Fero created this Ferobergia (=mother plant of this hybrid with Ecac grusonii):
