Good windowsill varieties for Boston, MA

[desertanimal]

Hi all! I've been skulking here for a little while, learning a lot. I currently have a few Phals, and have gotten two of the three to re-bloom this year. Having met with moderate success, I am thinking of expanding my SW windowsill collection. I am also going to switch my phals to S/H when they start new root growth.

Other than phals, does anyone have some suggestions of species that will grow happily in my area without a lot of environmental manipulation? That is, I don't want to set up lights or buy a humidifier. I'd rather just stick to what will be happy on my windowsill with watering, fertilizing, and misting.

I know that we have some native paphs, so that seems like a good guess.

Will Masdevalias work for me? Any locals have other recommendations for stuff that would work well in my set-up? Thanks in advance! And thank you also for the extensive knowledge represented here!
