Hello! Does anyone recognize these lesions? I got this maudiae-type paph at a show in early November. The spotting on the first leaf began almost almost immediately, but I chalked it up to mechanical injury from the trip home, as it had some cracking around the midrib. Now it's spread to a seemingly uninjured leaf, and I'm not optimistic about its survival -- it only had three leaves to begin with and now two are affected. Did it pick up some kind of opportunistic infection? Was it harboring something all along?
I posted this to a FB group earlier, but wanted to open the issue up to other eyes and perspectives. One person suggested it was viral, but didn't elaborate further. I was under the impression that paphs are less susceptible to the usual viruses than other orchid genera, or at least don't manifest them as readily, but I'm interested in hearing what you lot think. I think this plant is likely headed for the trash anyway, but thanks for any insight you're able to provide!
