wilting--HELP !!


Question
I just bought a lovely catellaya (sp?), but I accidentally left it in my car when it was too hot ahnd the blooms have started to wilt (not all the way, yet).  I quickly watered it and brought into the cool---is there anything else I can do?  thank you so much

Answer
Mary, orchid blooms are very delicate and once they start to wilt it is unlikely they can be returned to a healthy state.  If you have any buds in good condition they may still open.  After it is done flowering you need to cut the watering way back to once per week or less until new shoot growth commences.  Let me know if my answer raises any further questions.
