Hello Alvin,

I am leaning towards Phalaenopsis amboinensis var flava, but not 100%.

It sure is pretty Alvin. Might it be Phal. luddemanniana var. pallens?

Looks more like a semi-alba version of Phal tetraspis, not sure.

Ted, I think you're on the right track, but it's var flavida, not flava.

Al, Phal pallens has been considered a seperate species since 1864. please update your tags and/or notes. It's a good guess, but pallens is in section Hirsutae, which means it has a very hairy lip, unlike the one in the picture.

Philip, this is an alba, not semi-alba. it might be a tetraspis, but from the appearance of the lip, I'd say it's probably not.

hmm...thanks everyone for answer my questions...i also guess is amboinensis but dont know the exactly name...so since you all guess it is Phal. amboinensis var. flavida..then i temporary consider it as Phal. amboinensis var. flavida and Philip, i also wondering it is a Phal. tetraspis but just like lambelkip said...the lips are different with the tetraspis..^^

p/s: seems like i join the right forum already...as here got so many orchid lovers can teach me things^^ thanks everyone^^

Hi Alvin,
Well, now I don't know what I have. The plant is labeled Phal. luddemanniana var. pallens. Kip says this is incorrect so I don't know whether I have Phal. luddemanniana or Phal. pallens..........my seedling should bloom this summer. It may help or make things worse.

In case I misunderstood your question, I do have both of the Phal. amboinensis.
