Beautiful! I like the orange lip and the touch of orange in the rest of the flower.

Bud, your C. coccinea looks like a tetraploid to me, or at least some sort of special selection. Most unimproved or wild C. coccinea have narrower tepals and actually look more like this C. dichroma.

*my plant is in a 2" pot
The plant you show here is a linebred coccinea, most probably 4N as well... Most Sophronitis coccinea in the wild are far from that form in your plant, looking more like little red spider, as the Sophronitis bicolor shown in this post...
