Of course keep in mind that simply comparing the photos is not always a good way to make an ID.

@Tapirlord did you end up seeing the plants that were confirmed as C. saprophyticus? How does this compare?

Yeah I did, on those plants the flowers were not open to quite the same degree. I would've said that the majority of the labellum was obscured in those plants, which is not the case here. My feeling is that this is probably C.montanus with the flowers just opening? A super nice find for your place Brett regardless! One to hold over Dan ;)
