Colm. Catatante 'Pacific Sun Spots'

Picked up this plant at the farmers market on Sun. Nice plant, great color. $10
The question is: What does Colm. stand for. Haven't seen that abbreviation before.
Thanks

I don't know how complete this list is, but it is the reference that I use to figure out what abbreviations mean:
Orchid Genera and Abbreviations: A - C

Many of the Colm have been reclassified so the name may be different now. You would have to trace the parentage.

Still a nice plant.

Beautiful Hummer!!! Such a deal!

Thanks for the link dipasquo; there are so many orchids changing names I'm not sure anymore either.
