Kate, orchids really don't like being moved out of their micro climates. Not
sure if rotating would fall into that description, but it could.

I have not seen blast blamed on rotation - but if you see an
inflorescence with flowers facing every which way rather than a gentle
cascade with one orientation, you can bet they moved after the flower
became photo sensitive (sensitive to light direction.) A lovely spike
of flowers which normally displays in a graceful manner can become so
twisted as each bloom tries to reorient than they become quite
uncomfortable to look at.

Best luck
