Re: Black spots on Dendrobiums

For pictures see post of the same name on alt.binaries.pictures.orchids

Further info:
Flash photography shows they are reflective.  I have tried gently wiping 
them off using my finger and they do not come off very easy. About half
will 
wipe off , the rest do not

All of the Dens these are on have leaves that look as if they have been 
etched (see pictures.)

Any suggestions you can give would be appreciated.  I can not find any
hints 
in my orchid books.
