    Question Phal blooms drooping

    Hello to everyone!

    As you might have guessed, I am a brand new orchid owner! I went to DC about a month ago and brought back my very first orchid. I watered it when I got back and let it drain properly. It was doing great, watering it once a week, the buds were blooming-about 5 bloomed since then and looking healthy. The problem started about a week ago. I noticed that the newest bud starting to wilt and droop to the point of not being open anymore. The older blooms are still looking good. Now so far there was one more that bloomed and after a day started drooping, and now one more closing up. I tried a mild soap/water/rubbing alcohol spray once over because of the little black flying gnats around it. One more thing, I haven't fed it yet so I thought maybe that is why they are wilting I'm hoping? I just don't want to mess it up so I thought I would try this first Thanks for any help that can be provided! I have enclosed some pictures for reference.
