I have the tiny black spots on one of my orchids any ideas on what it is? Are the spots harmful?

Looks normal to me, a lot of Oncidium alliance plants get spots like that. If they start to spread or grow, then you may have a problem, but I wouldn't be worried.

ditto on Tony. I have a bllra tahoma glacier that has similar small spotting. its recovering right now though. it was one of my very first orchids and lost its roots from over watering.

I get those from time to time on Encyclia and Blla. Not to worry.

Thanks all. I'll keep my eye on it.
