dark line on phal leaf rib
Here's a puzzler: I've got a phal, Taipei Gold, that has a thin, dark
line down the center of some leaf "ribs." It looks like something you'd draw with a fine-tipped magic marker. It's just on the top side of the leaves. It doesn't wash off or rub off. Other than this marking, the plant looks pretty healthy. I've looked in all my orchid books, and I don't see this symptom anywhere. Is this just a normal thing, or should I be worried that it has some sort of weird virus? |

dark line on phal leaf rib
Is it reddish maroon? Like what can happen when grown in high light? Taip[ei
Gold is a yellow flower, so I wouldn't expect maroon tinging (That usually happens to red hued flowers) but hey, you never know till you ask. K Barrett "dd" wrote in message ...

No, it really is a black line.

Well then you've got me stumped. As long as you don't think its a bacterial
rot (Progressing along the vein). I wouldn't know what to tell you to do. Taipei Gold is a Zuma Canyon cross, right? They now have a webpage. I wonder if you asked them if that was a common feature of the plant if they'd answer you. Be nice in your phrasing, George can be touchy. K Barrett "dd" wrote in message ...
