reason for bud blast

[(..._...)]

My phalaenopssis that has 8 buds about 3 weeks away from opening blasted the first bud on the stem!! can this happen randomly for no reason? It hasent been moved, or subjected to different temperature, or been placed near... oh my it IS near something ripening... ok... that may be the reason... I just realized this AS I am writing thing... (this is breaking news folks ) My phal is right next to one of those ornamental pepper plants that you purchase in the fall. anywyas, it has two small peppers that are turning orange.... could that be the reason for the bud drop? I moved it just now.
