Hi All!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful New Year's Day!

I'm enamoured of most orchid genuses (or is it geni?) but recognize that my particular situation is probably not suitable for all. I'd love some recommendations if you're amenable.
The environment

I live in zone 7b. Humidity levels in my area range from the rare 40% during the winter to well above 70% in the summer. We keep the temperature in the house between 68°F in the winter and 76°F in the summer. Light levels are pretty low. I've hung two standard grow lamps 18" above my Phals, which they seem to enjoy as supplements to east and north facing windows (one each.)
I've read that Miltoniopsis like the same conditions as Phals. I yearn for a Miltonopsis but am waiting to gain more experience.

Are there any other orchids that would do well in these conditions?

Thanks in advance!
