I had the same thing happen recently with my Miltonia Stenoglossa- I have a pic of the bloom in my orchidboard gallery - I brought it inside after the first flower opened and it had 2-3 more developing buds above it, which blasted.
I don't know if it was the lack of humidity, or water on the flower, or overwatering or possibly water in the foliage but one of the pseudobulbs turned squishy soft and I had to take it off but the flowering growth was quite healthy with new roots so I was able to repot that.
I will keep it in the GH next time it flowers, as I've read some flowers don't open well if at all if the humidity levels aren't good enough.
