Both plants will be fine. If you indeed did go to that raffle then you got a really, really nice Cymbidium that is taken care of really well.
The Chocolate Drop is just dehydrated and needs some water. I didn't see any plants at the raffle that were in dire straights. All the plants come from really awesome collections.
If you need any help with your plants I would be more than happy to help!
Forgot to add that you definitely want to give the plants a good once over to check for mealy bugs. One of mine I got from the raffle was infected. It does appear that your Cymbidium might have some as well. They are the white fluffy monsters that hang out at the bases and crotches of the leaves.

Yes, I was the new member that showed up for the first meeting yesterday. It was better than I thought it would be & I was really interested in Steve Arthurs speech he gave. Some really great info about viruses.
I was just trying to win at least one plant to have something new, & was completely surprised to win the massive Cymb.
Yes, I will double check it over for mealy bugs. I am familiar with what those are & do have some neem oil for them if I find any. Neem oil wouldn't cause any problems for orchids right, specifically Cymbs? Not sure if it's safe for all or only some types of orchids.
It wasn't that I was doubting anyone offering plants with problems, just that i'm very new to orchids, like 3-4 weeks, so anything odd worries me & I just want to make sure if it is a problem I can treat it before it gets worse. Thanks for the input from everyone.
