Potinara Free Spirit blooms Female
Default Help with Potinara Free Spirit

Hello!
Recent orchid fan here, and last weekend I purchased a Potinara Free Spirit in an orchid event in Rio. It had two beautiful flowers, one of them still not completely open.
During the week the older flower got some brownish spots and fell, the other flower opened but it is already dieing.
I am having trouble finding Potinara information online so I don't know if their blooms last usually this short period or if the plant has some issue I should deal with.
Advice, please?
It all happened so fast I don't even have a proper photo of her flowers...

Thank you in advance!

I don't really have experience with this one, so I can't say if the short bloom life would be typical - some Catt alliance flowers aren't the longest lived, but this does seem unusually short lived. Change in environment / temps / humidity may cause flowers to die prematurely, so that can happen in newly acquired plants.

Welcome to the Orchid Board!

As Sonya mentioned, plants in bud or flower can drop them sooner than expected if moved to a very different location/climate/temperature/humidity/light environment.
