Nice plant, but not a lunatum. I think it is purpurascens...

The plant, staminode and the dorsal markings all indicate this is a true lunatum...it is different than the photo that you linked...it is not purpurascent for sure.

This is the true lunatum....

@Tom-DE: I know the parent plants of this purpurascens and where the young plants were raised - even if it is not recognized by most taxonomists.... they call it javanicum or virens

You might be right...when I look closely, the markings on the staminode are suspicious and the pouch shape is questionable too...but I don't think it is 100% virens or purpurascens either. A profile photo might clear some of the questions...just my opinion.

hello, I got this as true lunatum. What do you people think?

 

[UweM]

Hilmar's plant is a true lunatum

It’s a very nice flower but these all look like javanicum to me. Of course I understand if they have different origins but it’s what I’m seeing.
