Phalaenopsis amboinensis var. flavida

[Tindomul]

Absolutely gorgeous, and I have to reconfirm what Orchid Sue says, (got the same book). Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Susan. Look's like I need to get a copy of it.

Nice! do post a picture of it soon

I love to get one flava form but yet to find a nice piece, or one breeder willing to sell their precious plant. Much of the breeders in South East Asia still believes strongly in hybridization, and only a couple of novelty phals here are cloned.
