Eria coronaria

Great start to the day. Thanks for posting these Marni.

 

Wonderful! So Marni, you grow them with anceps, but what actual temperature range do they experience?

 

Stunningly beautiful

 

Thanks, I can grow these. Been tempted by this genus, but have not yet taken the plunge!

 

They look shimmery on the white

 

I recently had to discard my plant of this species which I bought very cheaply from one of our socities auctions, it had two small leaves and several dried black backbulbs.. I spoke to the previos owner who told me that he had never had any success with growing the plant, he said he was told that the plant had to be kept fairly dry.

I struggled with it for two years without making any progress until it expired. If I had the correct cultivation advice, and after looking at these fabulous images, I would certainly try this species again.

 

the flowers are great, i have to admit as well had already 3 plants, none of them survived longer then 2 years maybe, even last one was already multileaved, healthy an multi flowering plant, and than very suddenly most of leaves get black and dropping...
