Sure you can. I grow mine on a window sill, although it is South.

Oh my! What a mischief! And what tf is 'meaning of the flower'???
As the page shows hybrids without name, I suppose someone is preparing a sales event.
When I thought that 'Cambria' was worse enough, I'm told better!

What mischief? Some person in the past invented orchids of the month to sell the plants they had on hand, so another person might as well make up their own list!

I never heard of orchids having meaning but, at one time, you could share your feelings about someone with a bouquet of flowers. Flowers all had meaning (if you got a bouquet with tansy, it wasn't likely coming from a friend). The color of roses someone sent you would tell you how he felt about you (red=love, yellow=friendship, etc.).

Mine is March - Zygopetalum.

"The lips are bluish-purple, which is unique among orchids, and its authentic fragrance is remarkable. Its lips look like a yoke, which is a piece of wood that farmers use to pull cows or horses. It may be difficult for us to picture this today."

That's basically a description of *me* in March, so this seems pretty accurate.

"【The Meaning of the Flower】 Lasting love"

Yes, definitely accurate.
