my orchid wilted


Question
Hello Jim,
in a matter of a couple of hours, i noticed all of my orchid flowers in one big
pot just started to wilt. could it be the warm room? We had the fire place
going it was probably 80 degrees in that room, Can I save them? I moved
them into another room and gave them water

Answer
Hello Dottia,

From your description of what happened, it could have been the sudden temperature change.  If it was due to the warm temperature, it should have revived after moving into a cooler room.  But if it didn't and the flowers are still wilted, they probably are history and will fall off.  If there are some unopened buds on it, they may open over the next week or so.  

Hope this helped.
