Cycnoches
I have CYCNOCHES WARSCEWICZII 'SUNSET VALLEY ORCHIDS'
I got it in bud, leaves turned yellow and fell off, Since I have two beautiful flowers but the stalk has shrivled A LOT. I've heard not to give them a drop of water while they are dormant? Does dormant mean, when it has lost its flowers not just it's leaves? I'm tempted to water...Pic is of the blooms, almost done now though

They typical cycle of this orchid is that it grows (water and fertilize heavily), it blooms (less water), and it goes dormant (looses leaves and flowers - no water). The general approach is that once the new growth has matured, water and fertilizer would be gradually decreased until all the leaves and flowers are gone. Then after the no-water dormant period, when new roots and shoots appear, light watering begins and is gradually increased until it is once again beign heavily watered.

These are really fun orchids to grow but it does take discipline to not water them.
