I was sorry to hear that the plant indeed had a virus. I've had a few plants over the years that have had leaves that scared me but I've been fortunate so far that after much hunting I've found that the leaves didn't quite match any of the pictures I saw of virused plants but, instead, of ones with cultural mistakes. Mistake remedied, the orchids seem to be fine. Still, I always have a little fear in the back of my mind. So, I'd love to see a thread where people post pictures of orchids that have tested positive or negative for virus to help others know when a test or toss would be strongly encouraged. It's just an idea, if anyone is interested. Thanks and sorry about your dens,
Leafmite
