Thank you for your support. I like this color as well. But I start to question if buds fallout is a trait of this type of phal and this particular plant is not as simple and durable as it seemed.

Impossible to know if it's genetic or just one-time bad luck. It would take a couple more years of "bad behavior" to draw any conclusions. In the meantime, surely you will acquire more orchids!
