How to straighten flower bloom

[morphiii]

I bought a really pretty Phal from a nursery yesterday. I got it for cheap but some of the flowers are bent in weird way (90 degree away from the tip of the spike)

How do I straighten these out so that all of the flowers point one way.

Thanks in advance for any help.

i'm afraid you wait until it blooms again and then make sure the plant is always oriented the same way to the light while the flowers are forming and opening, so they don't point in different directions.

Never seen that before :S Plants like to grow their spikes towards the main light source and always have the flowers round in the 'usual' way. For it to grow like that must mean during budding it was moved around alot, or it could even be genetic :S very odd.

I think your are probably right. It must have been moved around a lot in the nursery.

Is there a way to correct this?

I'm afraid not, once its grown like that, your sorta stuck with it, till it flowers again and you can grow it correctly

ok.

Thanks. I guess it would really confused the hell out of the pollinator if it shaped like that in the wild!
