A profusion of blooms grow in a compact formation that makes you think the ball is the flower. A closer look reveals some of the smallest flowers in the plant kingdom perched on a gray stem. This very interesting orchid produces long, top heavy stems that can be cut back to produce more plants. If you have a green thumb, this can be done very easily. The flowers are special indeed. The tips a bright green and they are as white as snow. The size of the flower ball is slightly smaller than a baseball and can produce a crisp scent. Rare.
