Default Laelia alaorii

I have two Laelia alaorii's. One mounted, one small one in a pot. The mounted one is in bloom, but it has not completely opened. It has looked like this for four days.

Any suggestions??

Don't bother taking it off now, it's too late.

My thought's is that the plant didn't get enough water so it was curled. The other thought is lack of humidity. But I am uncertain since the cattleya alliance can handle dryness.

I think the colours are lovely though

It's in an orchidarium, roots sprayed daily and humidity around 70-80%.

The colors are nice, I'd just like to be able to really see them

I haven't got any idea why it is not fully opened if it has enough water and appropriate humidity.

It's the first bloom? Sometimes the first have problems, but next year will be OK.

It's the first bloom for me, but I do see evidence that it has bloomed before. There is something going on with the leaves as well, but I thought it was too much light.

Yea those leaves look a little sickly.
Could it be a nutrient problem?

I have a bulbo that has yellowish areas like that and it turns out to be root rot. I treated with thiomyl and they seem to be happy campers right now. Just a thought.
