| I have to agree that it looks like flowers.
You can actually thank your wife because stressed plants often flower the best.
Dendrobiums are probably the most forgiving of the orchids world. I have a tray of 50 over 18 inches high still in the one inch openings, because I have not had time or space to replant them.
Your wife was not too far off with the bag of water. (Although I will not recommend it) I soak Dens in water with rooting hormone for several days when I get them and this last time I was so busy they were in water for a month. They can take a lot. They are very forgiving.
