Question What to do when your orchid wilts?

I don't know what type of orchid I have, but it is purple on the outside of the petals, and spotted purple (dots of purple) on white in the center of the petal. And the center of the flower has this little white nub thing, and under that is a yellow blossomy thing. Sorry- I'm really new with orchids, and I don't know any orchid terminology yet.
Anyway, my orchid is starting to wilt now (I've had it for about 2 months), and I don't know what to do.

just the flowers are wilting, and the leaves aren't purple- just the flowers are
when i bought the orchid, the little tag thing didn't say the name, but I think it is a phalaenopsis as well. The leaves aren't drooping, but the flowers are.
Any more suggestions?


Also, I posted a picture of it (my orchid, while still blooming) in the Orchid Pictures yesterday, so if anyone wants to see it, it should be in the more recent orchid pictures.
