Laelia (Schom.) undulata alba 'Orchid Eros' x 'Graf's Emerald' 4in
Two alba cultivars crossed together of Laelia (formerly Schom.) undulata should make for a very robust and impressive plant. This species produces clusters of curly flowers that that get larger and showier as the plant ages.
Photo is representative of the blooms but blooms may vary. Blooming size plant, will not arrive in bloom.
