Phal. amboinensis 'Nicole' AM/AOS
 

Here is my amboinensis this puppy is in a 6.5" pot and its HUGE! :D:D its my biggest phal! :D :D :D the flowers are smaller than other 'Nicole's i have seen, but this one recently switched from a greenhouse to my house, so I expect improvement in the future.. the left bloom wasnt able to fully open because of the bud, so its a little oddly shaped. there is another spike with 2 buds on it and a third spike that is still growing and hasnt shown buds yet. (there was a fourth spike with three buds, but i broke it off :x )

hope you like the photos!!!

It looks great!

Those leafs are huge. Does it keep flowering from the same spike like P. cornu-cervi?

Thanks! :evil::evil::evil::evil:


Yes it does!!! the two that its blooming from or has buds on now had flowers last year. And they reactivated this year.

Wow! Very nice!

Thank! :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

It is gorgeous! I much prefer the white background to the flava version of the ambo.

Beautifully grown and flowered and excellent photography.

thanks Ramon!! :biggrin:

Thanks Brooke!! :waving are you referring to the true flava which has yellow spots? or the form that has red or orange spots with a yellow background? i like all three! haha but what i dont like is when the spots are orange or tan. i like them to be red!

Thanks Ron!!!
