Question
I just bought a few orchids on sale.  they looked pretty healthy, but left them in my car for 3 hours and it was HOT.  They all pretty much wilted.  Is there any way to save them?

Answer
Hello Kathy,

That depends on what kind of orchids they are.  Some orchids can survive being left in a hot car for several hours while others could be goners.  Do you know what kind of orchids they are?  Without knowing what kind of orchids they are, it is very hard to tell you what to do to save them.  

When you got home, did you water them?  If you did, that might help revive some or all of them.  Unfortunately, not all of them will perk back up to how they were prior to being cooked so be warned that you may end up having to throw a few away.  

Sorry I couldn't be of more help but hope this helped a little.
