Phal Orchid flower browning

[Bandelierbear]

Today all my orchid supplies arrived. So, I got busy with my "first repotting". I had my iPad in front of me with all the instructions I so generously received from this great forum. I must say I was amazed how much sphagnum moss I pulled out of that pot...I measured it out with it being well over a full quart! And, even after 10 days being the last time I watered it, that medium was just as damp..more wet...as ever. No wonder my little Phal started showing some unhappy moments. Here are a couple of "before" photos of it after I pulled it all out. I did have to cut a fair amount of roots off. But, it appeared to still have plenty of healthy looking ones. And, the 3rd photo is the "after repotting" shot , as it sits in its new home....in a new orchid pot! So, with that, I am going to start making Shrimp Linguine for dinner, pour me a glass of vino & toast all the members who having been supporting me through my first semi-crisis.
