I can't say for sure that it's the same thing, but I have seen bumps like those on a couple of my plants' buds in the last couple of years. It wasn't a pest or disease issue. My go-to guy at the orchid nursery said he's seen it happen periodically on plants in the greenhouses. He didn't know what caused it, but said that the extent of the damage is generally just some imperfections in the petals/sepals.
The bumps that I've seen have looked like blisters to me. Does that sound like what you're seeing?

** I missed a couple of posts and see that you'd already gotten an explanation! oops!

Yes, for sure and oedema does appear as bumps on leaves, caused by too much moisture. So I could see it being in the blooms. Never heard of it in blooms before, but it is part of the plant so I think it could happen. And if its not spreading, it explains a few things. The lady who sold them did mention it was from rain so now it makes more sense.
Silken, I guess we got an answer, and it turns out I got my first peloric plant at a bargain price

bethmarie, yes they are hard blisters, and I got it because I like the flower and also I got it at a discount. Now I'm happy to find that is not something that I have to worry about and I got to learn one more thing about orchids that I may not have learn if I did not venture with this one.
