Phal petel and lip closure Male
Default Phal petel and lip closure

I am not a beginner but every time I get into trouble I feel like one. The problem is that over night the flowers went from open to closed. I have seen this happen on non orchid plants when preparing for night or daylight or for danger. There are 18 flowers and 14 buds. All of the flowers are affected except the 2 oldest flowers on each stem. The thought travels thru my mind that the plant has the strength to manipulate the flowers and is therefor not dying.
If anyone has any suggestions they would be welcome.
The plant is new to my collection and has been repoted. I soaked the roots in a root stimulator for about an hour before repotting.I know that some Phal's are extremely sensitive but I have never seen such an orchestrated reaction of a plant that was near to full bloom.
Elfin King-2 is the before closure photo. The lip in the 'after' photo's is hard to see because of the deep maroon color but it has actually lifted itself up. Really strange. I hope, not fatal.

Thanks for your time,
Clarence
