| Yep, that happens sometimes with the moss. I had the same thing yesterday when I did a repot. I got it all cleaned up, and I was really concerned about this black bit near the center, and I got out the tweezers, and it was old moss. Once I pulled it away, the plant looked fine. They suck the life right out of that stuff. Be sure to trim anything black and squishy.

"If nature ever showed her playfulness in the formation of plants, this is visible in the most striking way among the orchids. They take on the form of little birds, of lizards, of insects, a man, a woman, sometimes like a clown who excites our laughter. They represent the image of a lazy tortoise, a melancholy toad, an agile, ever-chattering monkey. Nature has formed orchid flowers in such a way that, unless they make us laugh, they surely excite our greatest admiration." Jacob Breynius
