It does indeed. It is supposed to anyway. Before it wilts, the flowers are supposed to develop neon purple fringe, like this...
I will keep you informed of the progress.
I have another plant that does this too. My Bllra Tropic Splendor 'Golden Gate' AM/AOS blooms with brown spots, but over time, they turn bright purple. I believe this is one of the plants that parented the Smile Eri, but I could be wrong.
