I bought a bagged C. Chocolate Drop 'Kodama', in a 2" pot last summer. Pleased me no end to learn both Boojum and RUK have this orchid. I could follow its progress and compare. It was a few years from bloom but in perfect condition. So, I was surprised, when a few months later, weirdness showed up on the leaves. It's spent Winter 'til now isolated. I want to emphasize that all the new leads look great (though I'm well aware that virused plants can turn around and look okay).

My thoughts are that there was some kind of cold stress or another problem, but I'm thinking I don't want to ditch it as virused. I can't blame the grower (Sun Bulb) as it was clean for months after I got it. Nothing else I have has this going on. So what do you think this is? It's my only isolated orchid.
