I found this neglected plant outside my new house. It was still in a pot. Anyone know what it is? I'm zone 9b, thanks.

My guess is trumpet vine given your zone and the slight pinkish tinge shown in the photo. It has these characteristically long bean-like seed pods. They're easy to grow but roots can become out of control, so some gardeners plant them is a deep, bottomless container. They like partial sun and can overwinter, but need pruning!
Actually the long bean pod looking things are actually the stems. There are only the peachy colored leaves on it.
Oh! Thank you for clarifying!
You can take it to any garden center and they will identify it for you, if no one here knows.
There are several free plant identification apps in both android & iOS that you might find useful:

I must say this is definitely a trump Vine very beautiful plants
This plant is from genus Epidendrum - a large neotropical genus of the orchid family. It's hard to tell the species from your photo. There are more than 1,500 species. It looks like the plant is not young and is dying.

It's possible your new plant may need to stay in the pot until it gets healthier.
This may be a close relative to your plant but if you will take a few more pictures - especially closeups - and send them to your county AG center they should be able to tell you for sure and also offer care instructions for your area.
A local Ace or Truevalue hardware store may have personnel that can help you also. Just take a cutting to show them.
I would suggest keeping the plant in semi-shade and watered (no standing water) until you read further instructions.

Better pictures would help. From what I can see I would google variegated Hoya and see if that is a match. To me it looks like it could be a match. Maybe with better photos I would think differently. Thanks for sharing!
