I thought it was Colmanara but I could easily be wrong.

RHS has it listed as Odontocidium so I would say that is correct the correct name currently... but these things change all the time!

So, it's Ok I believe to keep "calling" it a Colmanara...

I had only heard of it as Colmanara from others here as that's what everyone is calling it.

RHS also lists Colmanara as a 'Synonym Genus Name' for this orchid.

The names seem to change all the time and it can be very hard to keep up with them all. It's just worth remembering that things could be under a different name in some places.

Yeah, I agree Rosie, this is the hard part. Difficult to communicate easily with anyone with this plants' Babel.
