Sure looks similar to me.

Mine stood up ok.  Just leaned slightly after some near 30mph 
winds.  Quite conceivably it won't always manage to stay upright.  
It was tall to go with the bloom size.

The parentage is unknown.  According to some of the old ASI 
Yearbooks I have, information was that it was bod pod and pollen 
fertile.  So far as I know there have been no itroductions with this 
in the background.  It does currently have a pod on it here.  I hope 
it lives to maturity and produces viable seeds that germinate.  Time 
will tell.
