Does anyone know what's wrong with this orchid? There were 16 buds on this plant and all of them have stems that look like this. About half the buds fell off before opening. The bud and stem started off looking normal but as the bud grew the stem would turn dark and eventually erupt into three lesions like this on each stem. It's very ominous. I am not sure whether to get rid of this orchid or treat it with something. I would appreciate any help because I've never seen anything like it. Thanks.
