I found this on my doorstep...
Another gift from a neighbor who used to throw all his going-out-of-bloom orchids in the trash.
Unfortunately most are NOIDs, this is some huge Brassia or something:
Any ideas?
Also excuse my messy apartment, usually the plants are small enough I can hide it  |

Lucky you! All we seem to get is stray kitties  It could be Brassidium Fly Away 'Miami', although maybe not possible to tell for sure. Mine has been in bloom for some time and now has another spike ready to bloom so it is the season for it and the plant looks very similar. |

Yes, very lucky to have such neighbors. No idea on the plant ID though. |

It looks like a Grammatophyllum than a Brassidum.
Congrats on preying on the loss of others.  |

I have found yummy vegetables at my door step. Maybe I should move to a different neighborhood in hopes of getting orchids. |

I thought the title was a joke, the lies we tell to justify bringing another plant into the family 
But cool that's how it works for you! Congrats and have fun. |

Congratulations! No idea on the ID, however, I sincerely hope the neighbors don't start dropping their unwanted orchids on my doorstep! I am desperately trying to lighten my benches to make room for new Pleurothallids... I have a lady at work that wants to give me her Phal., she cornered me today. How can you say no?
