Hey folks,
I received a division of Cym. erythrostylum today from a grower in Victoria (Australia).
As i took it out of its box i noticed some browning and black almost "scorch" marks on one pseudobulb, as well browning and blackenening of leaf tips.
Now as I don't have any test kits to hand at present (didn't realise I'd run out) that I can use to test for CymMV, the leaf in the 5th image sent alarm bells ringing, but I wanted another set (or more) of eyes to have a look over it first.
It has been cold here and in Victoria (with temps down to -1) so I'm also wondering ifs its had cold damage leading to fungal infection, which is causing the discolouration and blotching?
Additionally, the first 2 images are from the newest & youngest foliage, which don't show much apart from cold damage and possible bacterial infection (1st image) and puncture damage (2nd image)
What do you folks think?
