Orchids suitable for a bathroom window.

[ula]

For the longest time, I've been dreaming of having a bathroom with a window, now that I finally have one, I wish I could squeeze a few orchids there... My bathroom is always humid, but cold in the winter, so I don't know if it's a good idea to try growing anything there. The window gets plenty of sunlight for the morning part of the day.

Can anybody please give me advice and suggestions?

How warm is it in summer? If it is not to warm try and grow some masdevallias. If it is warm you can always go with some phals

A dendrobium kingianum is small, tolerant of cold and pretty tolerant of filtered sun, and it has fragrant flowers. I sent one to my sister, who lives in a tiny apartment with less than ideal orchid growing conditions, and she's enjoying the blossoms as we speak!

It's the window glass clear, or heavily frosted?

Thanks Everyone!
Clarification: winter bathroom temp.60F(16C), summer temp.75F(24C), window is clear glass, about 1.5ft wide and 2ft high- I know, not much you can do with it...

Masdevallia and Dracula will do. They love cold and humid. There's also some mediocalcars to try.

Paphs.

I think that would be suitable for many orchids; 60 at night isn't too cold for most orchids. All of my orchids get lower than that at night in winter, and my outside ones do in summer as well. I just stay away from truly hot growers.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I truly appreciate it.
I scoped a couple of "cheap" Masdies from Ecuagenera to try: amplexa, bicolor and weberbaueri. Can anyone tell me if they're hard to grow? So far I've had one Masdevallia (tonduzii), and it suffered a quick death... If I wanted to try a Paph, which one would you recommend-I haven't tried this genus yet.

I had a phal in my bathroom, was thinking humid is great but didn't realized they need good ventilation for roots. So it is still flowering after four month, the leaves look still great just lost a lot good looking roots. They have just rotted. Too much humidity and no ventilation since me window won't open. Lesson learn since I'm a bignner.
