I bought this as H. puniceum. However, it does not "look" like any of my other puniceum. I know that the species can be widely variable in color and shape. This one is VERY orange/salmon in color. It's growth habit is very much puniceum; small leaves, lots of offsets, and 2 flowers per scape. Anyone have any ideas? Josh, Oleg, Hans?

I don't know what it is, but I really do like it...

It looks pretty much like a "sibling" of 'Giraffe' or 'Jaguar'. In other words: It should be a hybrid with H.papilio Parentage.
