Here we go again, so I received this plant in the mail today (I ordered it prior to receiving my last ruined plants). There is obvious cold damage; the leaves on this catt are dark green/black and wrinkled. It looks like the pseudobulbs are still green, although a little wrinkled. Can it be saved? I'm afraid to cut off all the leaves... Any advice?

Usually chances with it surviving are slim with sever cold damage, but it still might pull though. If is does it will be a few years before it is blooming size.

If the pbulbs still look ok, I think it may stand a pretty good chance

Thanks, guys! I've cut the leaves off down to the psuedobulbs as the leaves were getting darker and expanding. I guess I'll have to wait to see what happens.
