All beautiful, my favourite is the mariae. And great photos, too, nice lighting.

Great photos! My fav is the mariae as well : )

 

[Happypaphy7]

Great photos, indeed!

The first one makes me a bit dizzy, like those signs in Vegas, moving from center toward outward. haha
Love it!!!

Equestris is electrifying!

 

[Migrant13]

Wow agree with everyone else. Your photos are fabulous.

 

[Marco]

I love the equestris photo the contrast of the black white and purple is fantastic.

Love all of them... I believe the 'amabilis' should be named aphrodite. The lip appears to be broadly triangular instead of narrow.

Is that right. Both of them? That is funny as I only recently bought an aphrodite as I didn't have one. So now your saying I actually need to buy an amabalis.

That is also true! eyes spinning~

It also reminds of some tropical cuttlefish whose color can changes and move at such fascinating pattern!

Yes, you do need an amabilis, David You can refer to this link for the difference in lip structure.

Thanks for that. Based on that diagram it is pretty clear that they are aphrodite. That now means I have four aphrodite and zero amabilis. Unless you see it in flower, there is a high chance that if you buy an amabalis it will actually be an aphrodite.

Not sure whether true amabilis is available in OZ, but I find they grow differently. Aphrodite grows well under uniformly hot conditions but doesn't flower. The plant has shorter, rounder leaves too. Most of the amabilis we have here are non-selected forms and the plants have long leaves when mature.
