Here is the RHS info for your plant. It is now Rlc so give it as much light as you can.

Zoi2.
Aha! Good of you to look it up. So the Brassavola part was probably B digbyana (now Rhyncholaelia digbyana). I covered the Laelia part changing to Cattleya, but I didn't even think about the Brassavola part.
(Just as I guessed from the clonal name, it was registered by my friend).

Zoi2 already gave pretty good advice about the light level. I was just giving additional info about what those foot candle levels meant ... bright light, definitely.

Thank you so much, I have learned many things due to our conversations and please know how much I appreciate your comments. I will leave him where he is now, for the time being, he gets bright light there. 2 new leaf growths and I am hopeful for a bloom at some point. I will let you know for sure.

I would say that North West light would be fine for a phal, but the catts need more. I have mine in a South window during the winter. We don't get much sun, though. You might be better with a little shading such as a shear curtain, since I believe you do get sun during the winter.

The sunshine must be nice in the winter. When we moved here we traded or sun for a warmer climate with little snow. Rain forest. Now I need grow lights.

Where are you? The sunshine is wonderful and its strong since we are a mile high, however I don't care or it here, I like the East Coast much better, people have much better manners and are friendlier. No one is "from" here so there is no sense of community similar to Florida. The weather and the State itself is gorgeous though! Food is terribly expensive here too. Orchids love it!

That Mulberry Bayswater: That you can buy for effortless crossbody dimension!
Since that time typically the start of the Alexa, Mulberry has actually been for a throw. While using company¡¯s penchant designed for punched-up fundamental principles that will don¡¯t break your budget as horribly simply because several of the moreover covetable bags available for sale, Mulberry has found itself distinctively well-positioned by using a group of adolescent, stylish, upwardly cellular clientele which often can¡¯t get turn out electricity . your handbags.
And then so what can vibrant, chic, upwardly cell phone people choose in recent times? Crossbodies. Type in the Mulberry Tiny Bayswater, a somewhat further little rendition from the Mulberry antique that a good using preference of which not any other Bayswater has listed thus far.

We're off the coast of British Columbia Canada. We are next to an inlet surrounded by mountains, so clouds get stuck here in the valley a lot during the winter. If we drive over the mountains it is often sunny there. Our summers are warm and sunny with little rain, but lots of rain in the winter. It's a mild climate. Zone 7b
We've been to Florida but found it too crowded for our taste.
