Dialc hybrid?
Browsing through a fair last Saturday and found this one
At first I couldn't figure out what kind of orchid is it. Looked kind like Spathoglottis and dendrobium mixed into one. I finally asked the Vendor and he said it was a Cattleya alliance hybrid. So curiosity caught the best of me and I bought it.
 whole plant. Based on my research, it might be a Diacrium/ Dialc hybrid. If anyone have any idea about its identity, your help is greatly appreciated.
By the way, it was already starred as a table decor. One of my neighbor borrowed it for a gathering  |

You have a good eye. This is probably Williamcookara (Wlc.) Tropical Snowflake.
Diacrium is called Caularthron now, so the Dia... names are gone. The species background of this hybrid is (Caularthron bicornutum x Laelia albida) x (Cattleya bicolor x Broughtonia sanguinea).
That's Caulaelia Snowflake x Cattleytonia Keith Roth.
There are some similar hybrids, so no ID of an unknown is ever absolute.
