I have Cypella peruviana, although I'm not clear on what the difference is between C. herbertii and C. peruviana. Side by side, their flowers do seem to have different patterns of brown markings. The ground color of the flower, almost orange in the image, is really much more yellow than shown. this image is from last year, but the flower started to bloom again just a few days ago. I also have Cypella coelestis, grown from seed from Eric Walton. It is a light blue or blue-gray color, similar in size to C. peruviana.
