| More light for the Catt. and Dend., patience with the Phal (okay with all of them). Sometimes orchids will skip a bloom season after being brought into a home environment. Going from a greenhouse to a home can be hard on them, and depending who the middle man was, they may have not treated it all that well to begin with. Some Phals bloom in the winter, some in summer, depends on when it was in bloom when you purchased it somewhat. At first it may only bloom 1 time per year.
Sounds like fungus on the Catt. I stand by my recomendation, fan, peroxide, spray, more light. As to your plant from FL I can think of a couple it might be, but would need to see a pic, I am thinking Epidendrum. It would hep to have pics and we need to know your location so that we can give you more specific advice, your location can be updated in the User CP top left corner.

"If nature ever showed her playfulness in the formation of plants, this is visible in the most striking way among the orchids. They take on the form of little birds, of lizards, of insects, a man, a woman, sometimes like a clown who excites our laughter. They represent the image of a lazy tortoise, a melancholy toad, an agile, ever-chattering monkey. Nature has formed orchid flowers in such a way that, unless they make us laugh, they surely excite our greatest admiration." Jacob Breynius
