Your Miltonia (pansey orchid) flowers are just reaching the end of their life cycle. The normally last 6-8 weeks and were probably open for several weeks before you bought it,

Miltonia do not like high temperatures and should be kept under 85 degrees. This is what we mean when we say to list your location. Miltonia are difficult in Florida. They need more light than the Phalaenopsis to flower and will not flower next year if kept indoors (without supplemental lighting). Put it outside in the spring.
