Don,
With up to 10 flowers per scape, your pygmy cannot be _D.pygmaea_. It
could be still a form of _D.occidentalis_ (but I suppose you have
checked that it isn't). Maybe you have _D.rechingeri_ (but this has
yellow rather than orange stigmas). If all of the above is not the
case, the remaining two possibilities are a hybrid, and a new species.
As the plant grows amongst _D.pygmaea_ and still has some
_D.pygmaea_-features, the hybrid possibility seems far more probable.
How long do you have your _D.pygmaea_, and when did the "outlaws" appear
first? Is it possible the hybrid (if it is one) originated during your
culture of _D. pygmaea_, or do you think you got the plant together
with your _D.pygmaea_?
Kind regards
Jan
