Is this an orchid? If not, what is it?

Hello,

 

Someone just gave me a cutting of a plant, and said it was a Tiger Orchid. I had a quick look around to check, partly to see how to plant and care for it, and I can't find any pictures that look like what I've got.

 

Anyone know if this is a Tiger Orchid or not? If not, any idea what it might be...

I used to have one, the flowers are fairly ordinary but they're mainly grown for their leaves. They like it quite wet. Mine met an untimely end when feral pigs got into my garden, they were one of the many casualties.

Yeah, I was rather struck on the leaves.

I'm going to pot it up and see how it grows. Thanks again to everyone for the help.
