phal losing buds

First post,fairly new to orchids. Got a Phal that has sent out two, what do you call them, stems? maybe spikes? anyway, these came off of last years spike and buds started to form but before they flowered, they dried up and fell off. I think I'm doing okay with the water. Maybe too close to a window? Got another plant during the holidays and it was starting to look like the flowers were wilting.... checked the pot (it came with other plants) and the soil was pretty damp. I seperated the phal out and repotted in bark so I'll see what happens with that.

I've about a dozen and a couple more on the way. I'll have a bunch more questions soon.

Thanks, and Happy New Year. The time is 12:24 am 01/01/07. Off to bed
