Looks like a very nice form of davidii, Anthony. It has nice, wide and well positioned tepals so there are no "see-trough" cracks between, the spots are pleasantly distributed and with nice uniform curl.

Joe, I am betting that those are not true L. taliense. With only one flower, the pedicel length and aspect (that is so easily distinguishing) is not discernible, but lijiangense has much wider leaves than taliense, and taliense is only white. The two do hybridize, apparently even in the wild, as Chen Yi in China dug and sold them as L. taliense var. kaichen (an invalid name) many years ago.

There are two forms of L. lijiangense that I know of:
This first one is the one usually available in commerce (on the left) and the form from Chen Yi (on the right)-a scanned photo from before I owned a digital camera.

How I would love to to get back that Chen Yi form from that I lost 10 years ago.

And this is L. taliense var. kaichen, more likely what you might have:

We should see how it develops next year.
