I want to thank everyone that responded and gave me advice for my multifloral no I.D. paphs. It has taken a long time, but I think I see improvement on two of them!
Also, a picture of my deflasked pink complex Paphs growing in a makeshift community container.
Thank you Jens. Your observations are very much appreciated.
I know it's silly, but I don't want to give them up. Maybe, if I correctly diagnose the circular reddish brown marks and send proof, they might offer a refund. That is what I'm going to try to do.
I'll keep them away from other plants...

Yeah, they do look pretty bad. All the roots on one were dead except one. The other's roots seemed firm but they were few. I paid 30 something a piece for them. I'm not sure if that is cheap or not for paphs. I've already contacted the seller with pictures. Hopefully they will reply tomorrow.
I just got these on eBay today. They do not look too great to me. I have never grown them before and have only just started growing orchids a year ago. Can anyone let me know if they are okay and if they aren't, what is wrong? There are three different species. The one with the patterned red...
