Help deciding what orchids to put in bright spot

[peeweelovesbooks]

Hi everyone.

I have somewhat of a dilemma. I have a small walkway leading to my front porch that receives bright, direct light pretty much all year long--and all day long.

I want to hang some orchids there, but I am not too sure what could survive those conditions. I've thought of Laelias, but I'm not sure if they can take such bright light. I have space for about 8 plants, I think.

I'm looking for suggestions was to what can actually go there. I don't like cymbidiums, oncidiums, etc. I like big and showy, preferably scented and white or with light colors. don't like purples either. I am obsessed with cattleyas, but don't like epidendrums.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!!!
