Default Phalaenopsis amboinensis var. flavida
Hello guys, I'm new in this forum so here's something to share. My Phal. amboinensis var. flavida is quite a mature plant which I've acquired from a breeder in Singapore.

First bloom


Second bloom




This is not a clone so I hope it has good genetics to be a stud plant

Welcome to OB!

You have a lovely amboinensis. But I hate to tell you that it is not a flavida. Please see the following link:

Thanks, perhaps it's my misunderstanding. As I read from phals.net, those with yellow based are known as var. flavida while the "common" ones are white based?

Please correct me if I'm wrong anywhere

That is one lovely Phal! I'm sincerely jealous. I have yet to bloom an amboinensis, though I own a couple.

Don't worry, they are known to be free-flowering. Just that they spike only when the plant get rather matured.

Hope yours will turn out beautiful too

You are correct. According to Christenson's Monograph, flavida is with the yellow background as opposed to white background. I think there may be some confusion here with "flava" vs. "flavida". They are two different forms. The flava form is the yellow with paler yellowish instead of darker brown markings.
