That's a good point, and I understand what you mean, but I think that applies mostly when the plants are outside and the sun is coming to them from above. I know when my plants are outside and I've burned them, it's always the highest point on the plant that burns the worst. When there are leaves that grow upward for a while and then curve down, such as in a Cymbidium, it is generally the top of the curve that I have seen burned the worst. I don't think it has anything to do with the distance from the sun, I think that's just where the sun tends to hit the leaves when it's coming from above. On a porch or by a window, it can be different because the light is coming in from the side, so if leaves are going to burn, it's going to be the ones that are facing the direct sun, not necessarily the ones at the top of the plant or the highest point on the plant the way they burn when they are outside.
