Default New to Orchids - Question

I always liked orchids, so here goes. A gal down the street just moved and
left behind a rather unassuming green thing in some moss in a unfinished
ceramic pot. The plastic spike jammed down the side says Paph.charm x stone.
There are two longish leaves that are black where they have creased across
the leaf and one is brown at the tip but there appears to be a new leaf
growing in the center. It was left outside and isn't really too dry (we've
had rain). Any advice on whether or not this thing can be salvaged? Do I
just water it once a week and hope for the best? Any ideas on what the
flower will look like? I can't really come up with anything definative on
the web.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
TIA
Alan
