Very nice flowers. You got them at Lowes! I've never seen such a nice selection at my Lowes. I've seen a couple of Dens and some phals, but that's about it. Congrats!

I'm not an orchid expert, but I noticed a few things you are doing wrong.
The ones you repoted. You put it in a clear plastic pot. Did you make many holes in that pot? the roots need to breathe, so I would recommend an orchid pot.

Beware of sphag moss. It can stay too wet for too long. I personally repot all of my plants with orchid mix. I use the phal mix from lowes.

And although your plants may look really good around the house, make sure they are getting enough light. Get them close to a window. It doesn't seem as if you have enough light (from the photos anyway)

good luck.

Love the foxgloves? or are they bearded tongue? in background on the computer too! I wish my local Lowes had that great of a selection. Good finds.

I find orchids at lowes are pretty expensive, so now I wait until they become neglected and they go on sale for about a quarter of the original price. Then sometimes if I wait a little longer I find them in the trash and then off to the rescue. Sure they take some time to recover but heck when I can save a life it makes it all the better.
