Good orchids for growing right next to a south window?

[JKeys]

I have recently moved some of my orchids away from the south window they were at because they were getting a little too much light. So now my question is: what are some good orchids to grow right next to south windows? I know vandas or cattleyas would work, but re there any specific types that work well? Thanks!

Several of my epidendrums will bake in the sun, radicans, for one. And of course, with some filtering, Cattleyas, Laeliea and their hybrids will do great in bright sun. Oncidiums will also, again with some filtering.

thanks! And just out of curiosity, what kind of dendrobium is it?

Remember that this time of year, the sun is low in the sky to the south, so the south facing windows receive the most hours of sun. As we move towards spring, then summer, the sun will be moving higher in the sky, reducing the amount of light to a south facing window - mid-spring, thru mid-summer, when the sun is at it's highest point, a south facing window will receive little direct light.

I put high light plants in the south facing window for winter, but in summer, I have lower light plants there.

Some high light orchids in the south facing window in winter: Neostylis, Tolumnia, Den bigibbum v compactum (Den-Phal)

mid-spring thru summer, these either go into bright east or west facing window, or outside, to maximize the amount of light they get
