moth ochid

My moth orchid has been blossoming for about two weeks. The leaves seem to look wilted. They are not as upright as they were before. Is this normal? They are nice and green. I only water with three ice cubes once a week. I recently gave the plant a little 15-35-15 fertilizer. Do you have any suggestions?

It is also possible the flowers are coming to the end of their life cycle.
Spent flowers are pruned from the plant.
