@fishmom: I'm lucky and I'm far from any of the fires.
@Roberta: Unfortunately I do no (yet) have any outdoor space. I'm looking forward to have some one day so I can try to grow Vandas... I currently only have southwest facing windows where I grow my sun loving orchids. They provide enough light to get the Encyclia and the Brassavola to bloom; I hope it will be the same for the Cattleyas and Maxillaria I recently got.
