My new pubescens from last weekend. It started blooming a couple days ago. The fourth flower is just opening now. This is the nicest cyp I've ever bought in its first year. When it comes to pubescens, every plant is different (usually) as they are extremely variable. It can be fun to collect the different forms. Every plant I have is different. This one has nice rich brown-colored tepals. I have another that has not bloomed yet and will not until next year. Another has smaller (but not parviflorum) flowers and the pouch is shaped somewhat like C. kentuckiense (a southern relative) and with deep maroon tepals. It is taking a bloom break this year. Another is the "standard" form, with large flowers that have greenish-yellow tepals with a moderate amount of rusty-brown coloring. It will bloom in a week or so.
