Hi I've had this plant for over 20 years and this is the first time it's flowered. Eria sp. Possibly. Any ideas? I put it outside in the cold glasshouse over winter (down to 7 deg) and that must have done the trick. Dont think it was really worth the wait though☹️
Just some additional information. When Beech trees are referred to, they are from the order Nothofagaceae, the southern beeches. Only distantly related to northern hemisphere beech. One of mine in flower and the second photo of a hybrid off spring
