The initial post -> I live in Nebraska - however, the orchid is living indoors (in quarantine) since it arrived July1.
Temperatures here have been close to that of the 'Gates of H311', so no plants have been moved outdoors since about July 1st really. [it's plenty hot here, cannot imagine what you are going through in FL or AZ!]

My hunch was, that this was the result of the mass of blooms that all opened quickly. I've just never had an orchid be so 'drama' about it.
Thank you so much.
