Entire plant shriveled
Hello everyone!
I'm very excited to have discovered this forum. I've been crazy about Orchids ever since I was first given one as a gift.
Anyway, to the point.
Today I discovered an orchid (phalaenopsis) that I thought had those poppy-ish kind of parchment looking leaves, but on closer inspection realized that the entire plant was shriveled up. I've never seen anything like it. It wasn't just the leaves, but the flowers and buds as well.
I know grocery store orchids are never in the greatest condition to begin with, but it's usually (in my experience) not so obvious.
Is this just a case of dehydration, or temperature shock? Is she savable? I feel compelled to buy her just to try and nurse her back to health, but am afraid it would be a wasted effort. If pics/more info is needed I can probably get them tomorrow.
