    Default colored leaves

    Can anyone tell me whats going on. My wife let the poor thin dry out so bad that the leaves started to wrinkle and were limp. Is the damage from this or is it from the sun light that it gets. It could be natural die off but I never had so many leaves go at once on a plant befor. Its had this off colored leaves since the fall. The plant is starting to bloom with new leaf growth but the leaves seem to be stunted. I've added some peat to its mix last fall and I was able to get the leaves to plump back up but the color is still off. The plant looks so sick like its in pemanent state of dieing, but never does. This was one of my first orchid so everything tha I've learn't, this poor thing when't through. It sat on the window sill all winter, could it have gotten a touch of frost, the leaves or not mushy. Since the cold winter could it have gone through a dorment stage and losing its leaves and now starting new.

    I have to many questions and not enough answers. Your opinions please.
