Ooh, I'm glad you said that... I've been risking moving mine out of the light when in flower so I can enjoy them. I usually put them on the mantlepiece where there is not really much light, but they are then displayed with a mirror behind and I get double beauty from the reflection.

Most of my photos of them in bloom are with the mirror reflection behind. It's a cheeting way of making them look even better and a bit of a fraud but I love them in that position.
