There's no question here... just a sad tale. So as we get older, we get more forgetful. Some of us more than others. Here's what vandas look like when you put them to soak in a rain barrel for "a half hour." Then three sequential days of rain, and your half hour turns into a three-day soak.

Yikes! Those uglies will be around for awhile... or if it got the crown, give it time... With luck, if those leaves drop, you'll get some good keikis.

Face palm, major.

The one I sent you might be okay after a dry out. The shape of the leaves and the way they connect is more forgiving than the strap leaf types.

I find that vandas are tanks so you might just have some ugly plants for a little

THat's gonna be one ugly dude for quite a while, but it looks like it's still got plenty of life in it. I know nothing about Vandas, never grown one, but there's still lots of good green, and from the pictures, the roots look okay to me. I bet it recovers. A long recovery for sure, but I bet it survives.

I fear the worst. Three days without adequate air exchange and respiration.

WW ------ the leaves were nice and pretty much all green before this episode, right? If so - maybe also consider fungal activity. It appears this orchid does grow outside - not inside, so I'm thinking air-movement might have been quite ok. But if there somehow had not much air movement for quite a while, then some unwanted activity on the leaves could occur too.

Could probably hit the leaves with monterey garden phos, or copper spray.

I have dends and angraecum growing full outdoors that have been bombed with up to a whole week of heavy rain - almost nonstop - seriously - and they come out of the wash just fine. So consider the possibility it may not have been your doing here. You didn't necessarily cause the issue.

----- unless I'm mistaken in my interpretation of events ---- as in it was soaking in a rain-barrel, and the orchid was inadvertently left in the barrel for 3 days, and the rain even filled up the barrel.

I was reading it as three days of total immersion...

If it was only partly submerged I think they would bounce back for certain. My concern as ES said was that three days is suffocation of cells time
