    Kutay, Is it flower BUDS that have burned? Or was it an open flower that dried and fell off?

    It may be that it was their time to fall off, Kutay. How old were the blooms?

    Cheers,

    If the buds died then you probably need to increase the humidity near the plant. Try putting some small stones in a tray under the plant and put water in the tray, this will help increase the humidity. The bud at the end of the stem is the terminal bud and in my experience it never blooms at least not in Phalaenopsis. Your plant looks very healthy.

    If you are losing the flower buds before they open, it is called bud blast. Bud blast can be caused by many things. Often, there has been a change in the weather and either the heat starts or the cool starts. If there is cold or hot air blowing on the flower buds they will "blast" and fall off. If the flowers were newly opened...or hadn't been open long it may be a problem with the roots.
    Good Luck

    Cigarette smoke also causes bud blast, hope that is not the case.
