    Default Cymbid Virus / Problem?

    I noticed some black spots on that noid cymbid I got for Valentine's day. Is this just the result of some leaf damage during shippng to a grocery store, or is it the sign of something more serious like a virus? I have had it separated from my other orchids (as a precaution) since I got it. Any thoughts?

    It's either a bacteria or fungus affecting the leaf parts previously damaged. Spray with Physan or sprinkle on cinnamon to prevent it from spreading.
