Hi jack, first of all what kind of orchid is it? What is it potted in?where do you keep it? How long have you had it? You need to give us a bit more information to try and help you. Even better post a pic of your orchid, a picture is worth a thousand words, I am sorry but you did not give us a lot to work with so its hard to even try and give a correct answer to you questions. Different orchids require different care so you need to be more detailed. Velleta

hello thank you, I apologize. its potted in a drainable pot ad it has holes in the bottom. I keep it in the kitchen on the counter it gets a little sun but not a lot? and the Tag said intergeneric orchid. It was one of my mothers last orchids that she received I believe she had it for over a year and I'm hoping there's a way to bring it back. The ones out side are fine a bit yellow at the tips but darker green towards the base so I'm assuming there fine? but I know they're a different type not sure.

Jack, I am really sorry bt this orchid is a goner, I don't see any possible life in it. And it looks as if it was potted in soil which is a big NO!!! For an orchid. If one of the psodobulbs was alive then maybe, but they are both severly wilted and dry. I nderstand you wanting to try and save it for your mom but its gone. Go out and buy a new one and dedicate it to her, you can try a phal, easy to grow and does not require a lot of light. Again I am really sorry. :( velleta.

Jack, remove it from the soil and look on the roots, does any look alive?(White and firm) or are they brown and mushy and comes off easily, I was thinking that if it had any viable roots you could maybe try and reroot it. Velleta

Have you watered it at all? It looks dry as a bone.
