Ive heard of Stanhopea buds getting killed from people watering the plant and then the buds rotting off. In fact, some Stanhopea sources recommend tilting the plant to the side when watering so that the buds never get wet. Im not sure how much I believe this because in the wild these flowers will be getting drenched all the time. Either way, this type of thing may have happened to your poor buds! I hope this helps!
