Smile Stanhopea candida

The most free flowering in lowland. Elegant, almost white except the throat little bit pink. Sweet fragrance but sadly only 3 days as others in this genera. Size about 2 to 3 inches.

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box. ...Hmmm? .
