It is definitely one of the nicest pubescens I have ever seen! It reminded me of a HUGE plant I once saw at the Devonian that has monster blooms which were probably about the same size as yours. Your ribbons were well-deserved!

The flowers are very sweetly fragrant! Yes you should go see these in person.
My plant has fairly large blooms. The pouches on this one are around 1 and a quarter inch wide (not including the petals).

There is a large variety of sizes, shapes and colours of Cyp. parviflorum. I have another one in bud, except I think it has small flowers with dark brown petals and sepals. Some plants also have more narrow and slipper shaped pouches.
