Mis-shapen leaves on Dend.s Help.

[ian.m]

Hey guys, I need some input.

I've got a couple orchids here that are showing some unusual symptoms.

The first one here is a Dendrobium Waianae Valley Ruffles which was rescued from Home Depot. It was very dehydrated and I had to chop nearly all the roots when I got it home. Now, somewhat surprisingly, it is coming back with a vengance. 4-5 new shoots, and lots of new root growth. As you can see from this picture, there is some red tinge to the leaf edges (high end of light requirments?) but what I am more worried about is the bent leaf at the growth point. You can see a couple of the new shoots have bent leaves. Any idea what causes this?

On a similar note, the second picture is of an unknown specimen. It could be an Odontocidium Wildcat, or it could be an unknown phal-Dend. This plant is showing much of the same symptoms as the previous one, but it also shows some more pleated leaves, almost like egg-noodles. It is apparent by the picture that this pleating is not from underwatering (the underwatered psuedobulb on the left is old growth, the issue is on new growth), the plant looks to be in great health other than the mis-shapen leaves.

Help me.

Thanks.

ps: the upload limitations for jpeg files are ridiculous. It allows you 1024x768, but only 97K or less in file size? That's like the lowest compression setting! The images look like garbage!
