 Too much sunlight!
With the right amount of misting and watering, vandas should be in orchid-heaven there!!!
I only have 1 anthurium and it does much better in a very shaded area...do you grow yours in the sun? 
Do you have any pictures?

Those "in the know" pronounce that Mongo. And yes they are to die for (in my opinion) especially the Virgin Islands varieties that haven't had the "strings" bread out of them. If this sounds weird, you haven't had mango fiber filling every void between your teeth

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

Anthuriums!!!! Oooo! Feel free to post about those here:
So what other plants do you like?
These I imagine are better off with shade, but the others I suppose should enjoy their sunny situation. Then again, I have no first hand experience.

well, I am almost the opposite of that. Many orchids and a few Anthuriums, Amchomones, Dracontias, Alocasias, and even the Giant Amorphophallus titanum . I haven't got it to bloom yet though it weighs around 40 lbs in tuber form. Does anyone know the name of the large black flowered Anthurium from Ecuador?

As far as I know the black anthurium has no scientific binomial name yet. I haven't researched this one in a while though. Very cool that you reminded me of it.
Here is a link to that:Dragon Agro Products - Aroids, Carnivorous Plants, Orchids & Supplies
Also, I have been looking to find a small growing Amorpho for indoor culture. Do you know if there are any?
I was thinking along the lines of Amorpho odoratus, or A. yuloensis.
