Was it a bag baby? How do the pseudobulbs look? Mostly green or with some spotting?

It was a Better Gro bagged orchid. The pseudobulbs are mostly green with some dark reddish brown spotting. I understand that the spots are considered normal for the species. It's a rewarding plant if you have the room.
