(Dialaelia or Caulaelia?) Mizoguchi

I thought that one older bloom with the purple on it's lip was just a freak bloom, but when I got home from work today, I noticed that the others are starting to get a bit more tinted. I didn't really know what to expect anyway. The two that I picked up at the show are the first catt types that I have ever had in bloom. The ones I have had in the past were relatively young when I got them. And it was HOT back home. Round the clock HOT. Maybe these will do better!

Love the blooms on this orchid, Jason. The first photo is awesome as well.

Cheers,

I only brought home five orchids Rich. I put myself on a budget and stuck to it. Would have gotten another, but had to get some supplies as well, so that cut into the funds.

Such will-power....

Looks like a good buy , I haven't looked up the parentage, but suppose from what you say it includes L anceps , and this is a big improvement in number of flowers there. If Dialeilia is another parent as the white flowers and their shape suggests, maybe you have the Dia' brilliant white flowers but one which will be easier to grow from the anceps blood too. A nice one.

It could hog space on my shelves anytime! Beautiful blooms!

Dialaelia 'Mizoguchi' is Dialaelia 'Snowflake' x Laelia Anceps 'Alba'. Dialaelia 'Snowflake' is Laelia Albida x (diacrum or caularthron) bicornatum. Correct my spelling if it's wrong! And thanks Bruce for the photography compliment. It is hard as hell to get a pic of white blooms as most everyone is aware.
