Where do you get your virus tests?

Thanks everyone for the reassurance that Agdia is the way to go. The spots on my leaves are mostly of a dark purple nature and from either Jewell Orchids or Fred Clark, though that's not to say ALL my chids are. I'll start with a batch of 25 and take it from there.

Again, thanks.

Sorry for jumping into an old post, but when you said the spots were dark purple it caught my attention. I had that happen to some of my catts, as well, and they didn't have any color breaks on the blooms. Now, I haven't tested them, so I can't say for certain, but I was advised by several members here that the purple could be the result of excess lighting. In my case, since they are in a southwest window and I didn't have much shade, I'm inclined to think that's what it was. Not to say you shouldn't still test them, but it's another option!

The purple I noticed was all on newly developing growths, btw. The older ones did not have it. I also burned a few baby leaves
