Label the pseudobulbs and see if it happens again next blooming season. Keep a record, take close-up photos of flower details and the plant.
And what do you mean by "pod"? Pot? Pseudobulb? Sheath? "Pod" usually refers to a seed capsule.
I think we are discussing two different problems. The first being flowers aborting and the second is different looking blooms on what seems to be one plant (the normal flower looks different between the two pics, too.) Are the pictures on the first page of the same flowers as on the second page?
Back to the original problem. After the buds drop, have you looked for pests?

The theme is the death of flowers when they are going to open. The first photos I put are those that have not yet opened and already a flower is dying. The second photos are from another plant that did the same to me but she took out a sheat with a normal flower and the other one deformed, the second sheat aborted the two flowers. The color change is because it opens orange until it reaches true red about two days later, I took a picture of the flower after it rains so it looks full of water. I keep a record of all cattleyas, with photos of the flowering and dates. In this year I have had less flowers in some plants and an advance in flowering time. On insects I can only fumigate because they are outside, and yes, I have seen thrips but the insecticide I have found is in dust and does not say that any solution can be made, if you can guide me with this, I would appreciate it.
