Fragrant Phalenopsis flowers seem to be eaten by some pests.
 

Hi,

I've had this fragrant phal hybrid for about 2 years. Its reblooming for the first time. The flower spike looked super healthy then I moved it to another location and didn't notice for couple days and suddenly all the flower kind of died off except for 2 blooms that are still left but they look a bit deformed as if they have been eaten up. Could this be thrips damage? I'm attaching pictures of the flower spike in full bloom about a month ago and how it looks now.

Sorry about the damage, cute little thing. Fragrance is a bonus.

Thrips usually damage tiny buds in spike, not so much open flowers. And I would expect a lot more flower damage than just that one spot, because there are usually many thrips.

It could have been a single insect, snail or slug, but again I would expect more damage than just that one area.

Another possibility is the flower was bumped against something, and the edge folded over to the point it was damaged.

Thanks Es for the response. You are right it could have been that the flowers rubbed against something. I will keep a close watch over it. I havent noticed any moving insects so far.

agreed with es...looks more like mechanical damage. does the new location have any pushed air drafts or currents?

best of luck!
