Diaca. Chantilly Lace 'Sprinkles'
What a nice surprise for my birthday. The Diaca blooms finally peeked open this am. Not quite open enough for a photo, but I'll take one as soon as they are fully open.
This is my first time blooming this plant. It started to spike in August but a grasshopper feasted on it one evening so I don't think I'll see a spike from that growth. 
Anyway, I'm glad I was able to get the other growth to send out a spike and bloom. I was afraid with all of the rain and cold that it wouldn't have enough light to bloom for me.

Congratulations! I can't wait to see the flowers.
Interesting though that the new name is:
Caulocattleya Chantilly Lace (Cattleya El Dorado Splash x Caularthron bicornutum)
I've had a look at some photos and it will look beautiful!!!

Well apparently 'Sprinkles' does NOT like to be disturbed while blooming. sigh. 
She dropped both blooms and the third bud decided not to open at all and is now blasting.
Oh well, good to know for next year.
