Hello,
I just received this Bulbo. sumatranum Sumatra x macrochilum in the mail from a seller.
The orchid is yellowing and quite unhappy - I don't think it appreciated being shipped - but I am more concerned about what pest is on the leaves. The pest is quite small small and brown, is teardrop shape, and has horizontal ridges along its "back". The do seem stuck to the leaves, but come off with alcohol. The fact they are a little stuck, makes me think it is scale, but I can't seem to pinpoint which variety. Can anyone ID this pest? Scale or otherwise? Pix included.
I also found a snail
My other plants that came with it look fine, which is good, but this one bummed me out... The bloom is special, but I don't appreciate being sent pests. But hey, this all comes with growing, right?
Why can't we have *just* nice things??
