    Unhappy Lost in Mail

    I had 4 orchids 'delivered' 5 Sept which never showed up; after much searching the PO finally delivered them today, 17 Sept. They're a bit on the dry side so I soaked them in rainwater for 30 minutes. The orchids are: LC Sky Blue Brazil, V. JVB-Ascda. Duangporn, Vasco. Pine River Blue, Vasco. Pine River Orange. The LC is in a 4" pot that is just a mass of roots with hardly anything else, except for the leaves looking a bit like orange peel and badly needing repotting it looks OK. The Vascos. leaves all look like orange peel and a lot of their roots look like brown wire, but on each plant 3 to 4 roots look fat and green with a healthy coat of vellum and even have points where new root directions have started apparently during their trip. Does anyone have any suggestions to help with their recovery?
