Dark spots on orchid flowers are \*usually\* botrytis- tiny bacterial infections caused by misting your plant or water just sitting on them. These are larger than most botrytis spots I’ve seen, but I can see if a big drop of water got kind of trapped back in that area, that that could be what it is. Just a possibility.
