    Default Blc. disease ID ?

    Can any one ID this disease of a Blc. Greenwich 'Killarney' and is there any way to treat it? it's lost three leaves an two P-bulbs. I bought it mail order last month from a dealer who shall remain nameless.

    It looks like a rot as Cercospora can cause. Use a fongicide as orchid-man say. Maybe it should be better to save only the best p-bulbs (without rot) and to treat with fongicide ?

    I hope you have sent this picture and a very angry letter to the vendor!
