Thanks for the site. Orquiadicto's and my amabilis both look more like aphrodites as suggested by many people on big leaf orchid forum. I will go back to the vendor and see what they say.

Mine is labeled amabilis. I think the blooms are "rounder" than the aphrodite.

Mine is just starting to spike. I'm sure it will end up being aphrodite. Lovely foliage though.
