Default dendrobium attacked by squirrel

I had to move my budding dendrobium into the screened porch , from
the shaded arbor, that they love , there is only one bud left on the
spike, do you think it will still bloom ? Does anyone know how to
keep squirrels away ? short of bullets ? It's heart breaking.

Chicken wire is very thin, so it's relatively unobtrusive. Make a
cylindrical cage around the plant. Attach to ground with tent stakes, or a
couple of those green sticks sold in garden centers. Not the prettiest idea,
but hey....this is WAR! You should see what I've got in mind for the deer
next season.
