C. Secret Love
Still a young plant, but with good shape and colour.

Lovely flower. I think what you have is not a straight C. Mini Purple though.
I believe its C. Mini Purple x C. Candy Tuft.
Reason, the flower isn't of a Mini Purple shape & the lip is also very different. C. Candy Tuft has been used a lot in breeding and is producing quality flowers like this.

After checking pictures again I think I have to agree with Roy. Mini Purple x Candy Tuft is Secret Love and that's what it is.
Once again I should not have trusted information from various internet sources as there are some mislabeled pictures. I also grow a Mini Purple coerulea.
I edited the title.

That's a beautiful mini-catt with a great shape. I agree that it looks like C. Secret Love. That's one of my favorite mini-catts and it has 13 AOS awards.
