Hey, all! I'm vacationing in Charleston, SC, and on a stroll down the battery, it was trash day, and this plant was discarded with the trash of one of those gorgeous houses on Rainbow Row. I don't know if it's a tropical, perennial, or house plant. Anyone have any idea?
It looks to me like an orchid that has finished flowering.
Don't think it's an orchid. The leaves are very succulent like.

I think Orchid also. What is it planted in? Can you take some more pictures?
Many tropical orchids have rather succulent leaves, especially the epiphytic ones..
Um, it was "planted" on top of a trash can.
Here's a sideways view -- I had no idea orchid leaves were succulent!
It is a Phalaenopsis orchid.. See

Doesn't look like a Phal to me- it has psuedobulbs.
An orchid definitely but we may not be able to get a positive ID until it flowers.
I was asking about in what medium it was planted. Bark or potting soil? Orchids are often planted in bark.
Travis -- by the time I found it, it had been ripped from its pot and the roots were devoid of any kinda planting medium.

Sure does look like an orchid to me.
