I haven't bee out to the Orchid Zone yet to do damage control, but I hope that being up against the house has spared the more sensitive among my collection.
Here is an update on my recent Dendrobium pollination:

After just one week, the ovary is already very swollen, and a clear seed pod is developing. I think that these Australian Dendrobiums have very short pod development times compared to other popular orchids.
I have kept this one on my desk since bringing it inside, and the fragrance is just wonderful! It now has at least 15 flowers open on 4 spikes, and I have selfed a few more of them . . .
