It may depend on whether the direction of light changes; whether there is a good amount of light; whether the plant has enough water; or whether the flowers are getting very old.

Do you have an ID on the Vanda? The species Vanda coerulea naturally has petals that twist to about 90 degrees relative to the plant. Hybridizing tends to flatten them out, but if it is dominant, then it could be nature manifesting its ancestry.

Oh, thank You for the answers! It is Vanda Gordon Dillon Blue Spot, at least it is what the tag says!

Not the species so that's not it... the suggestions from ES are factors to consider.
