| Hello,
A co-worker recently gave me some of her plants because she's moving away and can't take them. This one was included in the group. Its in ghastly condition and I'd like to start caring for it ASAP. Unfortunately, I can't tell what it is. It seems similar to an orchid or a bromeliad. There's a dead flower stalk that looks "orchid like." But the rigidity of the leaves and the way they're nested makes me lean toward bromeliad. Any help would be appreciated. The plant is submerged in something that used to be water but is now sludge. It could really use some love! Thank you, in advance. I have multiple pictures but I'm not sure how to post more than one at a time. This is my first post! |

| Here's another. It looks so much like an orchid... but how could it be living in "water" like this? |

| The leaves seem to grow in a different pattern than that. Also, the flower stalk is thin and segmented like that of an orchid. Thank you for your suggestion, though! |
