new to phals. couple questions.

[tim_r95]

So I paid my membership fee today for the napa valley orchid society and I got a free orchid with my membership, its a phal. Labeled as little gem stripes x doudi golden princess. I got a pretty good care sheet for phals when I got it I was just wondering if the light I'm giving it will be to bright. I have it sitting with my other orchids by my west facing window but its sitting furthest away on my desk probably about three feet maybe a little less. I'm wondering if I should put it on a shelf in my room off to the side of the window. Because it says they don't like a lot of light.

I'll get a few pics up in a minute. And I forgot to ask if anyone else knew a shorter name for this orchid and if it is one that you cut the spike after blooming or not.
