After four to five weeks of blooming, each of my glanduliferum flowers fell off while still looking to be in perfect condition. This was spaced out over a period of a couple of weeks. All my other species flowers usually show a gradual decline over a period of days before falling off. Is this something that is preculiar to glanduliferum?
 
Most of my phrags do that.
Most of my pahs wilt & brown but I think 4-5 weeks on a multi flower is pretty good. Any change in humidity? light? drafts?

Not normal for glanduliferum ( praestans ) to do this that I know of. It could be due to a rapid temperature drop or a major change in growing conditions for a brief period of time.
