It could also be L. philippinense, I grew mine from seed and it flower in the second year, but they can flower in one year from seed if grown in warmer conditions.

The pollen on one of three flowered was brown, with a blue stigma. The pollen on the other two was yellow with a blue stigma. On a thread we had last year, started by Leftwood, I believe it was stated that L. philippinense does have a blue stigma with brown pollen, but L. formosanum also has a blue stigma.

L. philippinense is supposed to be scented, mine wasn't. Just how pure these species are, or correctly named is another matter!
