This is a neat plant! It is a primary hybrid between Cym. goeringii and Cym. lowianum var. 'concolor'. It is surprising that goeringii (pod parent) had the ability to shrink lowianum (pollen parent) down to a compact plant. For someone like me who has limited growing space indoors, this is definitely an advantageous feature. Definitely a keeper!

Lip:3.0 cm (l), 1.5 cm (w)

Howdy Kevin,
This is just the type of Cymbidium that I like. This is a little cutie. Does it have a smell? It would be good if you could put a post on the Cymbidium forum to share your images. I am sure there would be others that would love to see it. Happy Growing!
