You could try to find out who grew the plant to sell to the store to sell to you, and they may be able to tell you its name, but that's even a long shot. I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you will just never know its name. Just enjoy it for what it is. Give it your own name if you want. I do that with some of my NoIDs. It's kinda fun.

Also, Colmanara is now an obsolete name. It is now Miltonidium, and some Oncidiums were reclassified in the genus Gomesa, so those hybrids with Miltonia are now Gomonia.

I figured, thought it couldn't hurt to see if anyone knew for a best guess or otherwise though. Coming up with a name sounds fun, good idea. Thanks for the info about colmonara not being a thing any more. Maybe ill have to finally take the time learn more about all the names.
