I might have to destroy the neostylis orchid as it seems virused. the Cattleya according to my search is edema which is a result of the excessive uptake of water faster than the leaves can utilize it. It usually happens when the plant is watered during cooler weather which made sense in my environment.

The Neostylis may or may not be virused but if you can replace the plant, then plant destruction is always a safe way to go.

Edema is a reasonable conclusion for the Cattleya, if those bumps are securely attached. No "cure", but cultural changes can reduce the possibility of it recurring.
