They didn't seem to notice, and are flowering well this summer.

I have routinely considered that by reducing the feeding and watering frequency in winter, I was mimicking the conditions that many of my plants see in nature. However, Bil's comment makes me think that even at the very low concentrations, I was routinely giving the plants a lot more fertilizer than they needed.
Since moving, I have been a poor "orchid dad," and I'll bet my plants haven't been fed more than once a month, yet all are growing and many blooming quite nicely.
