Flowers are perhaps too close to the lights?

Hi male-lamb,
Hmm, do you see any bugs? Maybe check them at night for nocternal feeders...
U. sandersonii flowers like to have higher than average humidity, but with your set up, I would think it would be Okay for them.
The photo is sort of blurry, at least on my end... While I see the flowers appear damged, I can't see in what way. Mites, perhaps? The stems look sort of bent.

The flowers do look strange, but the photo is too poor to see much. If you could get better photos showing the flowers and the plant leaves in detail, that would help. What kind of soil and water are you using?
