I think your Phal's look good, considering what they've been through. (I owe you a nickel Smiling ). A few minutes in the sun to take a good photo will not hurt them any. I rescued a few from a friend who left them in her trunk in January before bringing them to me - that was after the two months of overwatering. Smiling

Phalaenopsis need a temperature drop at night of at least 10 degrees in the fall/winter to encourage blooms. For me, that's a window sill against the glass and a room with the heat turned off.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming...."WOW What a Ride!!" -Mark Frost
