Other bud blast cause aside from those already mentioned: do you have any ripe fruit within a few feet of the plant? I learned the hard way not to keep budding or flowering orchids need ripe bananas or other fruit. The ethylene they emit sets off ethylene production in flowers, and ethylene is what drives senescence and riping in plants.
I thought that you had mostly solved your humidity problems with the addition of a new humidifier?

I just posted this and then my phone did something weird so I guess I'll do it again and hope it's not a double post. I thought so too Camille. But since the cold snap I have not been able to get the humidity above 37 or 39%. With 3 humidifiers. And a lot of other plants. It is because it is an open room and an old house. And it looks like I'm going to lose the buds on the lower branches that have come out from the main Spike. Also the tiny end buds on the main spikes. I do however have too many cells that have bloomed everybody and they are glorious. I will take pictures of all the plants on this glass tray once they are bloomed.
