Bruce: the photo looks like a fungal or bacterial infection to me, cutting
it off was a good move. A spray with a broad spectrum
fungicide/bactericide, such as Physan or RD-20, would be a good followup if
you are concerned about preventing spread to other plants.

I spotted this on one of my orchids while watering them and was wondering
what it was. Could this be a burn mark from watewr sitting on the leaf in
the sun? I did spray with Safer brand inseciticidal soap last week at the
end of the day. Maybe I put it back in the window to soon? I looked in
the Ortho books and could not find anything similar.
