Frost damaged Orchids. Please help!

[justinb]

Over the last couple of years I have bought a bunch of Orchids for my Girlfriend (around 20) she lives in Tampa so there outside most the year. This winter She came to visit me (going to veterinary school in the Caribbean) and had someone watch her plants really her only directions for them was to BRING THEM IN if it gets cold. Now there are a bunch that appear completely dead was wondering what I should do to attempt to give them another shot.
Should I trim dead leaves? Stalks? Roots?
Water or don't water?
Sun or no sun?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Justin

Welcome to OB!

Ouch! Sorry to see this is your first post. If any have green stems take off the dead parts. There is a chance. But many I see in the photo are completely gone. This has happened to me a couple of times. Not that I was gone. Just that the temperature dropped more than expected.
