Caulaelia (Dialaelia) Misoguchi "Cloud Cover"

[Cybrczch]

This plant was won early this summer in a raffle at our local orchid society, from another member who needed space in his collection. The pseudobulb is 4 and a half inches tall, and the spike is 28 inches long and still growing, I had to guide it between the light fixtures in my growing area.

Sorry about my poor photography, you can get an idea of the markings inside the lip but they don't show up the best. My older digital camera isn't that good at close up pictures.

Very nice!!! the 28" spike must come from it's L. anceps parent. You may want to check the tag it is Mizoguchi

[Cybrczch]

What tag? The former owner wrote the name on paper and taped it to the pot, by the time I got it the writing that wasn't covered with tape was washed off, all I saw was "Diala...ver". Did a web search, got both Misoguchi and Mizoguchi, but now see that RHS has it Mizoguchi so when I give it a proper tag I'll remember the Z
