cymbidium bud drop

This is the first time that almost all the buds have
 dropped from my cymbidium without flowering. The only
 thing different this year was that I sprayed the
 developing flower stalks and buds with dish detergent and
 some eucalyptus oil because they were being decimated by
 aphids which had been encouraged by ants. The aphid
 problem was solved.

Do you think my method disturbed the bud formation or was
 this coincidental?

I don't know the variety but the flowers are yellow - the
 larger variety.

Thanks.
