Though all you see here are the remnants of a once palm-tree-mounted, giant orchid plant that was flowering constantly for the past 25 years... and then torn apart by the owner for the trash. I happen to catch it in time when all the canes were cut off and just this rootball still attached... I had to saw it off the tree and uploaded a video on my YouTube channel for other orchid growers to see this shocking event and another video after I took it home and began the rescue process. I feel I was called to this spot at the right time and consider it a gift which I shall do my best to save it.
