Severely sunburned Phalaenopsis Female
Unhappy Severely sunburned Phalaenopsis

I brought home the most beautiful and healthy looking phalaenopsis the other day. It was in the midst of a bloom, with several promising buds, healthy looking roots, and strong leaves. And then... I left it in the car. I know, I know, I know... I am a horrible, awful, no good orchid mother. Sigh.

Needless to say, it is hurting... badly. The top leaves have wilted and turned a dead looking greenish/brown. A couple of the new roots are blackish. The flowers are all burnt and dying, and it didn't help that my 22 month old decided to pop a few of them off. The buds are turning black and drooping. And the tips of the spikes are turning black. It truly is a sad, pitiful sight.

My questions are: Is there anything I can do to help it? Should I go ahead and cut the spikes? Or should I just let nature run its course? Is it even salvageable?

Poor thing. I feel terrible every time I look at it.
