Off topic of our blooms, but since I don't have a lot blooming at the moment I thought I'd ask a couple of questions. Hoping you Vanda experts can weigh in on this.

Two questions this am:
1) barring the possibility that I clipped these by accident yesterday when trimming out some Erwinia, what do you think ate this? I saw no snail/slug trail. The plant is hanging well off the ground. A mouse, rat, or squirrel had a much easier access to the plant next door. This one would take effort to get to the crown. I checked and no caterpillar, cockroach, or grasshopper could be found. Any ideas? (I personally think I clipped by accident as they look pretty evenly cut).

2) Same plant. Are there Vandas that have ridges in the leaves? Both of the V. Gypsy's Rocket have ridged leaves. Or was this some sort of cultural problem? Even the new ones look ridged. Cross is (V. Manuvadee x Madame Rattana)
