Phalaenopsis amabilis aurea & Phalaenopsis bellina

[Hamlet]

Hello everyone, first post in a while.

Phal. amabilis var. aurea, first bloom on a young plant with two leaves. First pic is in sunlight, second in shade:

Phal. bellina. Unfortunately, a new leaf grew over the stem, so the flower can't fully open:

Thanks for looking!

Very interesting coloration on that Belina

Lovely amabalis. Is it a 'alba'?

Wow, that amabilis is magnificent. I just love egg colored flowers lol they are so beautiful. The yellow is so vibrant too. Ugh can't say enough about it.

Beautiful! I always love the look of wild-type amabilis (non line-bred)..

 

[SlipperFan]

Both nice!

Beautiful amabilis. Are these at all fragrant?

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks.

Beautiful! I always love the look of wild-type amabilis (non line-bred)..

I love wild type Phals too. Round line-bred Phal flowers are boring!

Beautiful amabilis. Are these at all fragrant?

This one is not fragrant, but the bellina has enough fragrance for both!

The amabilis is superb.

Love the amabilis aurea. I think the forma, aurea, refers to its callus that are devoid of spots. Not all amabilis are fragrant but some are, for eg, a cultivar from Irian Jaya. Those have a very distinct but beautiful shape as well.

If I had more space or a greenhouse I'd grow more amabilis, but I find that this species gets huge and is very reluctant to flower under lights.

This one is very small still. I hope it doesn't get too huge, space is a problem of mine as well.

The bellina got a lot darker:
