    Oh, I think that since it doesn't have a name you should get rid of it - - SEND IT TO ME!!!!!

    That is beautiful.

    Unfortunately for cattleyas, since there are so many hybrids now it will be very difficult to pinpoint a name unless you have the name tag or manage to track down the grower.
