Trouble with Phal spikes

[Helene]

Can you post a picture of the plant now? From the side and from above- its easier when looking at the whole plant, to see whats wrong, if any at all.

Looks really nice, like the flowers

Both are beautiful. I just think some time things happen and we don't know why. I have a phal that I have had a few years and have re-bloomed it a couple of times. This year it had it's spike and after it dropped off it's blooms the stem didn't yellow so I didn't cut it off. It started to put out another bud but when it opened it was upside down and retarded. I have no idea why and so I just cut the whole thing off. We will see how it comes out next time.
