Today is the day for our monthly food pick up from the local Trader Joe's for redistribution. Wouldn't you know an employee was getting ready to throw a Phal in the dumpster. The upshot is a Phal residing in the greenhut for the first time in years. Things are calming down since the show but I've got a busy catch up week ahead. I did manage a few photos.

First is Dendrobium jenkinsii (formerly Den. aggregatum). You may notice damaged leaves in the last photo. It was one of the badly burned orchids last March so it's not as bloomiferous (?) as usual. This orchid needs a cool period and water is withheld from After Thanksgiving until I see spikes emerging.
