Default What is this NoID? And from there, why did it get wrinkles?
Here is something I got at TJ's. This has been a rough week & I have been glancing at my plants, but just noticed this was wrinkled. Any takes on what's wrong?

Potted in Shultz Orchid mix with bark & charcol & some pea gravel mixed in at bottom. Roots still look white & happy. Stays around 70-74 at night. Daytime of 75-85...depends on how cloudy it is. Gets bright light thru balcony doors from 12pm - 6pm.

Here's the flower:

I believe this is normal as the pseduobulbs get older and nothing to worry about. Many Onicidum alliance plants do this. Your plant certainly looks healthy.

I have the same one... It wrinkled worse than that...
Fear not though... these are fast growers and mine is already sending out 5 happy growths that have adapted and are wrinkle free.

I forgot to mention that the flowers are falling off. I know they've been in bloom, who knows how long, at the store. But is it safe to say they are just spent, and that its time fo them to fall?

I have one from the food store that looks identical to the flowers and plant you have. It was labeled, Pacific Sunrise 'Hakalau'
