    Default phal flowers and buds shrivelling

    I might need some help earlier than i thought .
    A couple of weeks ago i bought a greenish tinted phal. After a week or so the flowers and buds started to shrivel. the leafs and roots looked OK.
    I repotted it in fresh bark, but still all but one bud did not drop.
    As i liked the color so last week i bought another one (different grower). Unfortunately also this second phal. is now showing exactly the same symptoms. This phal is treated exactly the same as my other phals. that seem to do ok.
    Anybody know if this is a phal. typ especially susceptible to changes in condition or disliking growing in an (extended) window still?
    Flower ( a bit pale due to flash:
