I just got this Phal as a gift and it has some strange looking leaves it could be nothing but it can't hurt to ask.

Any one seen this before? see photos
It is not fuzzy like mold spores its as if the white stuff is part of the leaf.

Edit: Looking at the Catagories this Thread should have probably been posted in "Orchid Pests and Diseases"
My apologies feel free to move this thread. thanks

Hi! It's nothing to worry about! That's the natural coloring of those leaves! Many leaves are solid green, but depending on the plant, There are all- sorts of leaf patterns! Enjoy! Leaves like this are a plus when it's out of bloom!

Thank you all for you input, Really appreciate it. I was so worried it was some thing bad, because it is such a beutiful plant and I fell in love with it immediately.
