Default Beallara Smile Eri

The bloom of Smile Eri that opened over night with its nearly week old siblings, the first opening Christmas Eve. They go through a very nice color change as they age. The blooms are a good size over 5 1/2 inches. The problem with this specimen is the petals and sepals fold too far back.

I'd like to see a view a bit further back (of the whole inflourescence).

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

That has a nice color pattern to it. Almost otherworldly. A picture further away would give more perspective. Thanks for sharing.

It's got wonderful colour even if it is pretty reflexed. Pretty.

Hello Ironwood and anybody else that has a beallara Smile Eri, I just bought one and I am thrilled. Any do's and don't to share with me, it looks so delicate and I don't want to mess up this beauty!
