Zimbabwean orchid

So I bought 2 orchids from a guy that brings them in from Zimbabwe. Yup... got them on the side of the road :P I have no clue what they are or how to take proper care of them (or if they are really orchids at all!)

They grow on some type of stump that supposedly grows its own leaves at some point. The guy said to keep them in a tray of shallow water, which I have been doing but one of the orchids on one of the stumps is getting brown spots all over it. Hope I don't lose it!

So any ideas on what these unique little guys could be? He said they have white and red flowers.
