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.

By the way, it was already starred as a table decor. One of my neighbor borrowed it for a gatheringhttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...a12a6c4008.jpg

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.

Thank you, I looked up Wlc Tropical snowflake and it looked very similar apart from few details.

Who knew such a simple lovely bloom have a very complicated ancestry haha

It's really lovely.
