Default Bulbophyllum inunctum - brown spots, probably nothing

Hi!
This plant was ordered for me as a birthday present a couple of months ago, and these spots were already there when it arrived. Since I can't possibly imagine that Andy's would ship me a sick plant I can only assume that this is not anything to worry about. However, could some of you orchid experts let me know what this is and put my little mind at ease once and for all? Thanks!

Default One more thing...

This picture shows a new growth. Is this just the creeping rhyzome producing another PB or could it be about to flower?

It's nothing to worry about. The tip of the leaf in question was dried out probably from over fertilization. The spotting looks like a temperature issue. It might have been unpacked outside. Some cold air may have gotten through a crack in the greenhouse. The plant may have been transported here under conditions that may have caused the spotting.

At any rate, I wouldn't sweat it.

The new growth is a new pseudobulb. Flower spikes don't look like the rhizome.

Cool. That's all pretty much what I thought. Thanks for the confirmation.
