While the broccoflower is a recent hybrid, it is still a vegetable. As a fruit of the field and one that is not genetically altered, it is just as kosher as yellow corn...which is also a hybrid. Naturally bred vegetables, even if cross pollinated by hand, are kosher to eat. If they breed true to the cross breed, ie hybrid, they are considered kosher.

As a plant, broccoli is inherently kosher so long as it isn't prepared with any non-kosher food items. However, due to the difficulty in ensuring there are no bugs in this vegetable, many religiously observant Jews avoid it.
