Default Is this even an orchid? It's driving me crazy!

Bought this at a local plant sale today. My brain insists that it is some kind of orchid and that I should recognize it.

I see various characteristics common to orchids I've grown (leaf coloration like a Paph, structure resembling a psuedobulb, fleshy leaves) but in combination, they don't add up to any orchid I know of.

I got one of these from Estacion Secà. He had it tagged " Ledebouria" or Scillia Socialis. It's not an orchid.

Definitely not an orchid. Actually considered to be a succulent as I recall.

Thanks to you both. The ID of Ledebouria socialis fits very well. I was not entirely convinced by my own research due to the bulbs being above ground on my plant. I look forward to seeing what the bloom looks like.
