Looks very Laelia-like...
I bought this today as a dirt-cheap bargain, with price tag of 15,000 KRW. (approx. $13)
While the root is not in great condition, it has total 12 pseudobulbs(!) with some nice new root-buds and currently in bloom, as you can see in the picture.
Unfortunately, the tag was missing and the lady in shop had no idea... I think the flower is somewhat similar to Laelias but I'm not sure.
Please, any ideas?

Very nice - I agree that Laelia species could be in the parentage somewhere. Other than that, good Cattleya alliance culture should keep it healthy.

I wish I knew as it is very pretty. I really like the bloom.

How long are the bloom stalks? Mexican Laelias in the group anceps, autumnalis, gouldiana, rubescens often have very long bloom stalks, and they tend to pass this on to their progeny.

It looks like something that is 50% or 75% Laelia anceps. Length of flower stalk should clue us in.

Pseudobulb is about 10 cm long with unifoliate leaves about equally long.
The inflorescence is about 5 cm long, with sheath.
