Tatum - Sounds like a great place in the summer.

The flowers falling off is not a big deal. The leaves getting wrinkled could be. Generally this means that the plant is not getting enough water. This could be due to getting over watered causing the roots to get rot and die, which would prevent the plant from getting enough water. It could also mean that you are not watering enough and it is dehydrated. I would use the skewer method for checking when to water.

Skewer use for watering of orchids

What kind of media is it planted in? Is it bark or moss? You might want to make sure the roots look good.
