    image.jpg I’ve had a phalaenopsis for a while, it is about to bloom. Most blooms look fine, but a few tiny ones look like they bloomed too early for their time. What caused this? I’ll include photos.

    It’s happening on one of my other phals as well. It’s the bloom on the right

    Have you, or are you using any kind of pesticide or other additive on your plants? Hormones, possibly? The fact that it is happening on two separate plants tells me there is some external factor, and that it's not a natural mutation.

    Its probably a cause of some chemical that deforms the buds
