purple spots!!!!

[marcecarloh]

hello!!! i need help from a professional. some of my orchids (cattleya and dendrobium) have this purple spots on the leaves. the plant looks healthy but i´m worry about viruses. help me please!

I don't see any problems and I definately don't see any signs of virus. Orchids sometimes get dark areas because the light is getting brighter in the spring and the new leaves aren't used to it yet.

Those purple spots are the result of a natural pigmentation in the orchids' cells called anthocyanin.
