Default Rescued sickly phals today

Hiya ,
I went to my local garden centre this morning for a few bits and pieces. Obviously I had to go take a look at the orchid section and discovered they were selling off poorly looking phals at £1.00 !!!
I took pity on 2 small phals. I have since coming home, taken the spikes off, de-potted, removed all the rotten roots, cleaned the leaves, re-potted back into same pot with fresh bark.

Phal number 1 looks a bit dicey very few roots left. a lot of them were rotten and mushy But if it does recover the flowers will be lovely It had a label on the pot with referene to "Orange Blossom" is that its name??

2nd Phal looks a bit more hopeful, had better roots. The flowers were really teeny tiny.
