It's me isn't it? Paph issue now!

I do have some healthy orchids-or so I think!
I have a Paph. Primulinum that I've had since fall, lots of blooms, still in bloom. However I am now noticing all these "black" markings on the underside of the leaves and base, which I don't believe were always present. The leaves also seem to be a bit "wavy" and not what I believe they should be. I've kept this in south westerly window throughout the winter, seems to be sufficient light, not overly strong (Minnesota, remember). And I THINK I've kept the watering to a comfortable level - ie, letting it go somewhat dry between watering. Mist every morning. I'm including pics, and although the "markings" appears to be red, they're black (it's my camera). I've also included a picture of an individual leaf that has more of a spotting issue, vs more of the heavy discoloration.
Again and again thank you all for helping me thru my first winter as a bonefide NEWBIE!

I would stop misting and I would not let dry before watering.
Misting can be harmful, encouraging fungus development especially when associated with cool temperature and do not compensate watering.
Paphs need plenty of water and should not let dry between waterings.

(I could not find your pictures)

Hi Aniko,
Um, sorry! Not sure where they went. I'll try again...And I think you may be right about the misting. Also it's in a window that I think may be too cold at night, with the cold weather we've had the past week.

Ok!The pics are here.
I honestly say, I'm not sure what about those spots, anyway an anti fungal treatment would not hurt.

If those are the oldest leaves, this may be nature getting ready to discard this leaf. Plant looks pretty good to me, but I am not a Paph expert.
