    Default Cattleya - not a real name here

    I bought this plant as one of a job lot at the end of a major show, when the dealer wanted to clear his stock before flying back to wherever ; it was very clearly labelled as Blc Eagle Eye "All Victory".
    There is no such name in Orchidwiz , or anywhere else I have looked.
    At first sight it is a good one - seven inch natural spread. At second look, you can see the sepals behind the petals - there is very little substance here, although it has to be said that white catts are often a bit thin - but I don't think the flower will last long. If it did, its a good addition to my collection, but I'd like to put a better name on it. I doubt that anyone can be sure , but any suggestions ?
    BTW it is a first flowering of - presumably - a meristem ; question - will it get better on subsequent growths, assuming well grown ?
