Orchid Blooms falling off without withering?

Bought a phalaenopsis two months ago with 5 full blooms. Two months later, the blooms still look fresh and healthy with no sign of withering. All of a sudden, in the last 3 days, 3 of the blooms dropped off. The dropped off blooms still looked fresh and new. Leaves and plant looks happy, with seemingly two new roots and a flowering bud sprouting out.

Anything to worry about?

2 months, I'm lucky I get 2 weeks. A healthy orchid has a light green colored leaves. Old leaves will brown and whither too, natural. I don't see any problem especially as you say another sprout is forming. If so the plant is probably channeling its energy to the new sprouts and needed to get rid of the old flowers. Just keep doing what your doing.

A tiny delicate bloom is trying to find happiness - alone in Boston in late December.
