I bought these Cyp from Vienenkötter, hydrid date 2003, registration date 2008
It is a hybrid between reginae and tibeticum.






 
If the presentation were a little more open, so we could see -- it would be fantastic. Downward facing flowers just don't show well. Maybe next blooming?
 
The lip is fantastic, but those recurved petals are just a bit too much for me. Really this flower looks very much like a colorful form of Ulla Silkens (reginae x flavum) rather than a cross with tibeticum. I say that because of the highly recurved petals; a usual trait in flavum and occasionally seen in reginae, but never in tibeticum. Interesting.

Overall, very pretty though. Is this the first blooming for you?

Hello Tom,
Yes, it is the first blooming
 
hey guys,
looking at that pic from C. reginae X C tibeticum cross,
I am very sure, that this another hybrid.
And I think too, that it is much more a very nice C. Ulla Silkens.

The hybrid reginae X tibeticum was made and registered in 2007
by Crustacare BVBA in Belgium
under the hybrid name C. José.
It looks totally different to the above.

you can find a pic on Crustacares web site:
