I don't think so, but I'll ask anyway.
I have two orchids, both are the same type. Phalaenopsis I think. One is white with purple veins, the other is purple on purple. The white with purple is going strong, but the two current blooms on my purple-on-purple are looking weak. Are they likely just reaching the end of their life for that specific bloom, am I overwatering (as recommended from Home and Garden website, I've got these sitting nested in a pot that has water so they just draw up what they need, they're I think the only type of orchid that doesn't need to dry out for a week before re-watering). I don't find any bugs or anything. I do have 4 more buds that are slowly opening so it may just be those specific blooms are reaching the end of their life. I dunno...
