purple spotting on Ascofinetia

These spots have appeared on my Ascofinetia Cherryblossom 'Carmela' in the past couple of weeks. Not sure if this is a result of light exposure, or some fungal/bacterial thing. Plant seems to be doing fairly well otherwise. Anyone familar with this?
Thanks,
Tony

Thank you, Sunshine. That's what I wanted to hear! I thought maybe it might be excessive light, but I know these gals like a lot of light.
Best,
Tony
