I live in an area of very low humidity similiar to your own. It actually gets drier the hotter it gets, sometimes to the single digits. However, when it gets that hot and dry the house air conditioner is on giving me indoor humidity at around 35%. My plants seem to have adjusted to the low humidity and my flowers stay on for months. (I grow Phals inside and Cyms outside) If I need to later I will add a humidifier but right now it doesn't seem worth the hassle. With only 2 plants, I would consider a plastic saucer with plain water in it placed under each plant. Don't let the roots come in contact with the water, or enable them to wick up the water or you will have a whole other issue!
