I'm trying to help a fellow member of the Swedish orchid forum identify what could be going on with two of her Paphs.
Here are the afflicted leaves in question:
Whatever it is it seems to be very slow spreading as she noticed it on her Gloria Naugle before summer and now she noticed the same thing on her Harold Koopowitz. It starts on the oldest leaves but I'll have to ask her if it spreads to the younger ones as well.
Both Paphs have been quarantined as a precaution.
Since I see virus and mites everywhere right now, I don't dare to give a possible suggestion of what it could be. Does anyone have any idea? These are her most precious Paphs so she doesn't want to throw them away unless it's necessary.
Thanks for any input you might have.
