I think it's very sad they would not consider donating them. I don't ever throw a plant away without offering it to someone or putting it on freecycle. Sometimes I even have a hard time throwing out cuttings!
A big A. blanchetiana like that can sell for over $ 50.

At the same time, I have benefited from people throwing out plants in the past. This is an orchid blooming in my yard about three months after I picked it up from the green trash pile in front of a nearby house.
