Looks like it could be water damage, are you misting the plant?

That's what some of my phal flowers do as they are starting to die, but that flower looks healthy except for the spots- in other words, I don't know, but I'll be curious to know if they are done blooming.

maybe they are done blooming. that one is the most severe of all. there are 2 others like that but those ones have tiny transparent spots. and the plant is very healthy. lots of roots and stuff so im not sure whats happening maybe the flower are just done

How long have the flowers been open?

4 weeks

[Zoi2]

I wouldn't think the flowers would be done at 4 weeks, have you changed anything in your culture? or changed locations? Seen any insects flying around? I'm running out of ideas sorry.

That happened to me once when I over-dosed with SuperThrive, and once also when the flowers were in full sun for a little too long.
