Can they be saved?

How?

water them with water .....now:thumbsup:......the soil looks so dry that the water will probably run right through it.

set it in the bath tub and pour a gallon or so......then let the root ball dry out before watering again.

Looks like you need to transplant to a bigger pots too

They need a bigger pot with better holes. Just get cheap nursery polypots; they are ideal.
Then give a light watering. They'll perk up fine.

They look SO much better! What a relief! I'll transplant them this afternoon. Thank you all so much for the advice! I'll give them a week or so before flowering; to let them recover from the shock.

After all that trauma, I would hold off on stressing plants for a few days. Transplanting can be stressful on plants. Talk to them and tell them you will never go away and leave them again with no water. I bet they are scared! :thumbsup:
