It's so cute and tiny, and I just love it

Lovely flowers.

How cute and tiny? Can we see the whole plant?

[JScott]

Maybe I went a little overboard calling it "tiny", but compared to my other Beallaras (like Marfitch), it's practically miniature lol. It's a small plant at any rate, with flowers which are quite large for the size of the plant. It appears to be rather young, and I've only had it for less than a year, so I don't know if it will stay this small, but it's so cute, I hope it does.

This clone used to be super popular, and I remember back in the late 90s or so, I used to see it everywhere, but I don't remember them being this small, but a lot has happened since then, so I don't know how reliable my memory is

Holy smokes! It is cute and tiny! How is it holding up those huge flowers?! Thanks for posting.

I've given up growing this genera-terrible at it. But your plant is remarkable with a firework of blooms and great coloration.TY

That is really a different looking plant--now I'll be looking for it! How great!

I just did some googling, and nobody mentions the small size. You have a lucky find there.

I got it on eBay back in the spring sometime. Like I said, I used to see this one a lot, but I never bought one, and I eventually forgot about it, but when I saw it on eBay, I was like, "Oh hey! I remember that plant!" and I bought it. It wasn't in great shape, but I got it on the cheap, so it was all good, and it has recovered well.

Fishmom, I wish I could tell you where to get one. I guess watch eBay and maybe another one will turn up.

I would like to point out tho that the perspective in that photo may be a little misleading. The flowers are closer to the camera than the plant is, so it makes them look bigger. They're probably three inches tall and two inches wide, which is quite big for the size of the plant (the flowers are bigger than the pseudobulbs), but maybe not quite as big as they appear in the last photo.

My mother gave me one many years ago (10 or so) and I killed it about three years ago. I haven't been able to find one since, but I do love them them dearly and they are tiny as far as Oncidiums go

Nice find on eBay, I would have snatched it up too.
