Joe, from what I'm getting back from my sources (scientists and experienced growers of Chinese Cyps) your plant fits well within the concept of C. froschii. The overall color, dark purple around the lip orifice, the twisted and elongated petals, and "leafy" habit of the plant all point in that direction. These typically are found in wooded areas at lower elevations than the more usual C. tibeticum varieties. I was even told that your plant likely is from Yunnan stock originally.Rare plant! I'd self it and flask the seed.
