Orchid

[tamborine]

The orchid plant was brown, brittle and dead. I threw it outside in summer and have found it under a bush with 4 large leaves growing. Should I leave it or bring it indoors.

Do you know what it is ?
Does it have hard leaves ? If so, it is probably tropical - bring it in immediately and place it in a window. Water with rainwater or boiled kettle-water that has gone cold but sparingly this time of year.
Does it look like this:

Quite large with leaves a bit like a 'spider plant' if so - it's probably a cymbidium, which needs to be indoors this time of year (same thing though in terms of watering).
