I just love these little guys.

The Alba form is stunning.

I agree, although I really like the one with a peach blush best.

The peloric one is just wild. The duplication is dramatic compared to other peloric phals that I've seen.

I never noted the yellow spots on the alba form before, good photo!

Very nice plants! One of my favorite Phalaenopsis!

Actually, there is a true alba form with no yellow or other colors on the flowers. The one shown here should actually be called var. aurea (it has been described as such), but it is normally sold as alba... the amount of yellow on the aurea form goes from whole yellow lip to just some little amounts of yellow on it.

These are all very beautiful! I wish that they were mine. The alba form seems to have a very slight pink blush on the lip. If that is true, then, it's not an alba, it's a very, very light tipo. Whatever it is, it's gorgeous!

True, but the yellow is so faint it isn't really noticeable unless you get very close. I have looked high and low for a truly all white equestris and this is the closest I could come, so I like to call it alba .

Thank you. The lip is truly white-probably lighting and/or camera sensor.
