Lovely ones, Leslie.
Lovely indeed!
I always find it fascinating that amboinensis is so critical for yellow in phals. I see it and think red/maroon and stripes.

Me thinks too like that.
But the markings can be recessive with a dominant yellow species like venosa and large whites.
A very interesting phenomenon is that it contributes the yellow background readily to hybrids (to spotted or sunset colors too).
