@5601Lisa, I mentioned that the Phal. was planted too upright. If you are going to grow Phal., be sure that those plants are tilted. That way, when water gets in the crown of the plant, it will drain away. Also have some air-movement so that your plants can dry out between waterings. That's true for any orchid you grow.
Here are some examples pictures below. Also, I generally now only grow compact-size Phal. and those will typically be mounted. You don't have to worry much about water issues with mounted Phal. As they do in nature, they will grow at an angle. They know what to do.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
