Who Votes For.....

[BikerDoc5968]

Ths Spots....Who votes for sunburn? And who votes for something else....you have to fill in the "something else"?

[susiep]

I vote not sunburn (I've got a 50-50 chance of being right). I think it might be something to do with watering, too much or too little during a growing time. I say that because I have seen it on my orphan plants that have been through hard times. It doesn't seem to get worse. It is like scars. Am I right?

Measles

Ok, what do I win?

[kiki-do]

Okay, I say it's going to be a beautiful spotted catt and it's just getting into character for the grand opening.
Did I win???? Huh, did I?????

[Dorothy]

Sorry Guess I'm a little punchy ..
Have the spots spread at all? or have they remained the same since you have had it?

[Ross]

I vote not sunburn, but you are def. pushing the light. The purple is from high light. The black spots are from moisture/spraying/who knows. But Oncidium class does this. The purple is a good sign - lots of light = more flowers next cycle.

I vote for it having Cattleya lueddemaniana in the background. those spottings are normal in this species when exposed to high lights
Do you have the ID of this plant?

[CoolPhrog]

I'd vote but since I'm in Florida, it probably wouldn't count anyway

For what it's worth, this is Lc Gaiety Flambeau 'Mendenhall' AM/AOS x L purpurata.
Personally, I vote for a bit too much sunlite....it is affacting only the soft new growth and not the older leaves....so everyone is a winner so far and we are all having good fun....makes me a happy Doc!
