I have to report an interesting thing from my weekend Phalaenopsis hand
pollination experiment. The flowers that I've "pollinated" are wilting!
This is very unusual for a Phal that just went into bloom. Phals are known
for their very long bloom period! I hope that it's related to the event of
the weekend, and not a mealy bug attack!

Isn't that what happens when flowers get pollinated? The flowers wilt as
they form seed pods!

Thank you Marian. This looks a great site I haven't been here before
