    Anyone help. We have had a fair bit of rain. This is in an orchid shadehouse. Weather around the 27 deg.C down to 17 deg.C.

    That looks like ring virus to me. keep this orchid seperated from your others and do not use the same knives or clippers, etc between this plant and your other plants. I would get this tested for virus. I hope I am wrong about this.

    cheers,
