It is a compact and cute species with the vivid pink flowers. It makes amazingly large inflorescences for the size of plants. This one was actually flowering 2 months ago (March), but I've been a bit busy recently. I got it from Oak Hill Gardens.
I sucked the pouch (lip) and it contains pretty sweet nectar! It contains fair amount of nectar for a small flower. You can kind of see the nectar line in the very middle of the pouch (the bottom part is a bit darker with nectar in it):

It is not too obvious in this photo, but the flowers shows a nice
phyllotaxis pattern: the flowers are arranged neatly in spirals within an inflorescence.
