Default Need help understnding orchid name
I bought an orchid at a local show last week - the tag says: "Rhyv. colmarie". Since it looked like a Vanda to me, I Googled the tag name to find out what Rhyv. means.

No luck: I found references to: Rhyv. Colmarie (Rhyv. Sri-Siam x Rhy. Gigantea) from Santa Barbara orchid show. I also found: Vanda Colmarie (Rhyv. Sri-Siam x Rhy. Gigantea).

What does Rhyv. and Rhy. stand for??

Thanks!! (By the way, the "sample" plant in flower smelled awesome!!)
