I don’t think it’s moss. Is it sort of fuzzy and growing ON the petals, or is the actual petal material turning green?

it’s growing on the petals

Can you post a closeup photo in brighter light of what specifically you are seeing?

From the photo, it looks to me to be part of the natural pigmentation of the sepal. Orchids come in a rainbow of colors (except blue). I have one that is green and burgundy (almost black).

I would not be concerned if it were my plant.

Nice looking blooms!
