When the flower from a orchid gets broken off is the orchid dead?

Answer:
The flower is in the process of dying, because it is cut off from food and water, but it does not die immediately (a good thing for florists). The plant itself is just fine.
If given the correct care, the orchid will eventually rebloom. There are plenty of websites on the internet with good information. Googling "orchid care" gives many results.
