It can also happen from too much sun. It can be ignored as it will not spread to other flowers or the plant. This happens quite often for those of us selling at outdoor shows.

I didn't know that. To me it looks like a Botrytis infection, but its something I've on seen in orchid books and not on my orchids. I know that on floral tissue it doesn't always make the characteristic grey fuzz.

I am certainly not an expert, but the first pic does look to me like it was burned, the other pix, idk. Gl

there is no fuzz, its just black, it might possibly have touched a hot window when i was away but idk

[Call_Me_Bob]

do you think it would be okay to put it into the bark mix from repot me?

I have been buying all my bark mix from repotme for quite a while and I have been very happy with it. My chids certainly seem to like the mixes. So, I guess that's a yes from me.
