Phal. amboinensis
This is a little guy that I received from Incredible Orchids. It came in rough shape, the leafs were bent in two and out of the pot. It looks like he will make it!  |

Great looking bloom! Looks like it didn't mind the rough trip too much. I got one in the fall, but still no sign of a spike...

I feel your pain, I've done that before... I was beyond furious with myself for doing that. Hopefully your plant is determined to bloom and will put out a new spike.

The bloom looks beautiful but aww.. the poor wee thing! It looks like it got badly bullied at the playground or something... Real battle wounds! :b |

That describes what he looked like when I took him out of the package! But, as you can see he is a scrapper!

Despite the leaf damage, it's a beautiful ambo, landanew. I've used clear packing tape to fix up some broken/cracked leaves on a couple of mine.

krazy glue / superglue is good to repair leaves.
