I found today this plant at a local florist shop.
Has anyone any idea what it is?
For me it looks like a cross between Brassavola x Laelia.
Thanks in advance for help.

It's pretty. I agree that it has Brassavola in it. Maybe a primary cross?

It is usually not possible to make a precise identification of an unknown hybrid, but in this case I'm going to make a guess. It appears to be Rhynchobrassoleya (or Brassocattleya) Memoria Helen Wood, or something very similar. The combination of characteristics I see here from Brassavola nodosa, Cattleya bicolor, and both Rhycholaelia digbyana and Rhycholaelia glauca is pretty distinctive, and that hybrid is the simplest way to bring them all together.

The flower shape, especially the lip shape, is characteristic if hybrids that include Brassavola nodosa and Cattleya bicolor, like Bc. Binosa, but these have many flowers on a fairly long spike.

The plant form and single large flower are characteristics of Rhycholaelia digbyana and Rhycholaelia glauca, or their hybrid Rl. Aristocrat.

If you look at Bc. Binosa and Rl. Aristocrat I think you will see the resemblance, but I don't think you can ever be sure.

Thank you for your kind efford to help me!
It seems to me that one parent is Brassavola glauca.
I know that is very difficult but hope that someone here will have the same hyb. with a name on it!
