Question My Brassia rex buds have tiny clear drops

I am waiting on my new Brassia rex to bloom. Even though everything looks healthy still, there are tiny drops of clear fluid at the base of many of the buds. Do I have "nasties" or is this normal for this variety? I have included pictures. The last is an overall picture of two of the stalks of buds to show their general condition. I am keeping my fingers crossed! The bulbs still look as good as the day I bought it.

The tiny drops are sweet sap secreted by the plant itself. Nothing wrong

Yup agreed, perfectly normal. I often see this on my Cattleya buds.

You guys are wonderful! You don't know how much I have worried today. I was so afraid I had bugs. As I worked I wondered if I could get some worm tea fast enough to save the buds if that is what I needed. I have heard so many good things about worm tea, after today, I think I just need to order some and be safe. I can't wait until I am experienced enough to help someone else feel good. THANKS
