The collection is hurting, but I see some signs of stabilization. I wish it
would stop raining so I can hit everything with Cleary's. It's not that I
mind getting wet, but spraying the plants in the rain sounds kind of dopey
to me.

A mounted Phal is down to one leaf, and some of the other Phals are really
sad (lots of lost leaves). My Sievekingiana rothschildiana looks like a
goner. I was so proud of that little plant; it was growing really well for
something that exotic under my care, LOL! Several Vandas have lost lower
leaves, including V. Rev. Masao Yamada, which is a favorite. On that one, it
seems to be still spreading. Figures.

Argh. Well, fingers crossed for your collection. What a mystery. That
it should affect *everything* and all at once is (IMHO) weird. Maybe
you had a helpful kid mix up fertilizer in an old Roundup bottle (she
says, grabbing at straws.)
