2ManyPlants said:I have two that I suspect have the virus. Of course they are two of my favorites. Grand old cultivars from Asia. One is named Chandra. It's gorgeous.
James is right. I should kill them, but I haven't.

I used to grow Cattleya orchids and many of the old varieties where infected. If you are careful with your tools and physically separate the plants they will grow (poorly) without infecting your collection. One infestation of insects can spread the virus like wild fire. It's a bad deal.

@2Manyplants this new bloom just opened it is similar to your "Chandra"

I bought this one primarily because it is grafted to a scion with a huge caudex.
