Phaleonopsis suffering from bud blast?

[Edwin Reffell]

My pale lemon yellow Phaleonopsis is suffering from bud blast, I believe. 2 of its blooms have wilted. I have had it in bright sunshine unshaded in the kitchen window. When the colours started changing and a flowers started to wilt I moved it around all the time to where the sunshine was less bright. Then it put it back on the window sill and shaded it. However I cannot prevent some of the bright sunshine from reaching it so I am going to place it in front of the window together with my Yu Pin Pearl which does not seem to have been affected by the bright sunshine which gets there sometimes for a while. I noticed today that all my Phaleonopsis roots are silvery green although it is only 4 days since I watered them. Is this due to the sunshine? Until today I have only checked the roots once a week to see if they needed watering. My white orchid, also exposed to bright sunshine has developed 3 new buds even. The wilting flower to the right on the pale lemon yellow Phaleonoposis is at most 1 week old so it cannot be a question of old age. Its leaves are less rigid than the other Phaleonopsis I have too, as you will see in my next message directly. What should I do?

The picture of the leaves of my pale lemon yellow Phaleonopsis which I believe is suffering from bud blast did not show in the message I just sent so here they are here.
