Orchids - Slashed and Cut Down



I couldn't help myself from not picking them up. Its a pity most of the parts where actually cut and slashed at the centre of their bulbs, their chances of their survival is very slim as they will tend to slowly rot and dry up. I manage to collect and safe these, still wondered if they can actually survive as they have to pull through the initial shock and weather abuse.

These leaves are at least a meter long and bringing back from where I found them on a bike is a feat. Found them in a pile of pruned mango tree branches, I doubt they would have grown together in the same tree, its a good thing that I was able to put all in my motorbike basket, if not, I have to let this one go and let nature take its course in turning them into compost.
Somehow, its a joy and treasure to behold if they manage to pull through in my garden.

Its been about few weeks now, some of the leaf tips had turn brown but I had pruned them.
I bought a big round pot and place the plant with charcoal (which I bought very much earlier)

The leaves are now lush fully green. Hope to see new shoots emerge soon.
I'm yet to identify the species of this orchid. I'm guessing it might be a necklace orchid and a very common one easily found in my region.
