This listing is for Eria globifera. Large, well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot. These plants are currently developing 3-5 new growths! A cute, easy to grow Eria (closely related to Dendrobiums) species. The buds develop a wooly exterior (they look like hanging caterpillar cocoons) before opening to reveal a beautiful 1/2", creamy-white flower with distinctive red venation. Nonresupinate (upside down) flowers. Flowers will be identical to pictures (these are divisions from my stud plant). Flowers winter-spring. The medium-small plant has pseudobulbs that are almost Hershey Kiss shaped (globose) and are initially covered by a mahogany-colored sheath. Each bulb has 1 or 2 dark green shiny leaves. Great for pots, hanging baskets or mounting.
