Plant ID?
 

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.

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
http://www.plantscapingsupply.com/Me...tegory_Code=OA

This is the type orchid it is but probably not the color.
It is commonally called a moth orchid
rec.gardens.orchids can give you even
more information

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.

Donna

Sure does look like an orchid to me.
