A Few Phalaenopsis

After a good breakfast in Kreta Ayer Market, i came home to take a few pictures of the Phalaenopsis that are flowering in the backyard.

This is Phal.violacea var sumatra. 

Phal.Mambo, a cross between Phal.amboinensis and Phal. marie.  This plant was bought during the recent WOC2011 at MBS.

This is a nice form of Phal.amboinensis 'Common' var Nicole, bought from Song Orchids last year.  It stopped flowering for a while but began flowering again after the recent rain.  For some reason/s this plant is not as free flowering as the other forms of amboinensis.  The yellow and flava form flowers almost all the time.  I also have a few other plants of he 'Common' form that flowers more freely although the flowers are not as striking as this one.

This is Phal.amboinensis, a nice plant that came from Mr. David Lim's collection.

This Phal.amboinensis var 'flava' also originated from Mr. David Lim but i bought it from MH nursery.  This is a highly sought after plant because it is one of the two or three known wild amboinensis 'flava' which existed 20 years ago. Today the clones are readily available at only a small fraction of the price.
