Hi Wayne,
the trigger for Phalaenopsis orchids to rebloom is cooler teps. They need a definite differential of at least 10 degrees F between day and night time temps to initiate the desire to spike.

SOmetimes, that can be accomplished just by moving them into a windowsill, the cool nighttime temps and the warmer daytime temps will be different enough in the window to help them out.

ALso, a good fertilizer regimen through the rest of the year is helpful.
