Pigmentation on my flower!!

[Maneganden]

My orchids are having some pigmentation and spots on them.
What us happening?

Could you load some pictures so we can get an idea of what you are talking about?

/\ i agree with Jonada, it would really help, plus it would be very interesting

[kmarch]

We'll need to know what kind of orchid it is (it may be completely normal) and precisely what they look like to be of much help.

the pictures are here!










thanks alot!

Looks like you have something eating your flowers. I think thrips do this.
A good spray of insecticide might not do these flowers any good but will help the rest of your collection.

[pikkumyy]

something eating it would make sense,

but i do know that water can do damage (im not familiar what water damage looks like though)

but whatever it is, its pretty

[kmarch]

Yes, plucker is correct, the first and third pics show classic thrip damage. The petals have that "fried" look to them. Thrips are very tiny and can hide. I have only had success in eradicating them with a systemic insecticide.

To me, the middle one just looks like the flower is going off naturally or perhaps as a result of being too cold while wet.
