Jim-- My first instinct was hydrogen peroxide after reading that Erwinia produces its damaging enzymes in an anaerobic environment, and hydrogen peroxide oxygenates whatever it's applied to.....I read a study from the University of Australia that discusses copper fungicide as effective treatment so that's why I went with that...but I kinda wish I had just tried the h. peroxide first!

Ken--My phal's lesions are the same...no halo, no spread...how is your Cat doing after that treatment? Anything new growing?

Here's a photo closeup of that weird flower spike. Is it all mangled and stunted looking because the plant is trying to recover first?
