Not so green thumb

Don't let me babysit your plantsWhile my parents were out of town, my dad entrusted his beloved orchids to me for two weeks. Clearly this was a mistake as they have all but frozen. In my overzealous attempt to save natural resources and a few bucks (I got the bill, I saved about $50), I may have done these poor plants in. I don’t know if they’ll make it but my dad’s been trying to revive them ever since he got back. They sure look pitiful don’t they? At least now I know their threshold for cold tolerance: not 45 degrees Fahrenheit!
