Neofinetia falcata Daruma 達磨

[K-Sci]

What I like to see in a green bean leaf Neo is a healthy green color on all the leaves, including the oldese ones. Leaves that are virtually blemish-free, relatively tightly spaced, and uniform in size and angle. Obviously the quality of the culture can result in a mediocre clone that looks pretty good or a top quality clone that looks terrible.

There are not many online photos of Daruma. Among them is the one I attached from New World Orchids. Though not exactly the ideal I described, it is a nice looking plant to my untrained eye.

Any opinions about the qualities of a good bean-leaf Neo, the quality of the Daruma variety, or the Daruma in the photo would be appreciated.
