Beautiful MayA83!!! No such thing as "only Phals" around here. Phals are one of my all-time favorites! That flowering phal is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.

I didn't mean that it's something "wrong" with phals, I don't have anything but phals.... thats what I tried to say ;-)

Oh I knew what you meant!
They are certainly healthy looking plants and you can tell they are happy campers!

Seems like they are happy now, but I've had some problems with too low moisture-levels... plus the sun was too hot for them a while, didn't give them enough shade. Seems like they are growing nicely again now...

I play shuffle all year long with my phals due to the changes of the sun pattern. I just moved many of mine out to the covered front porch, and keep them close to the wall. I had them off my kitchen window, but the leaves were starting to get too light. Some are out in my back sunroom where I have mesh shades to protect them. It's a fine balancing act, isn't it?
I had a Catt that I severly burned (didn't think there was a such thing as too much light) and so now I watch everyone of my chids like a hawk.

You're so lucky to be able to have your orchids outside, it's not possible in the cold north...

I only have this window to put them in, the other windows has sun all day long... so I'm looking forward to the day I can have the whole house on my own. My grandparents has the rest of the house you see...
But now I've learned that there is something called too much sun
