Hey, Tommy! I think this is a must have for so many reason, one of my favorites. Get the Amami Island clone. About light... they're pretty tolerant of extremes, but a little more than a Phal, a little less than a Catt. Mine grows in a frangipani tree and in rainy season gets direct morning light until about 11:00am then dappled indirect light the rest of the day. When the tree looses its leaves in the wet season it gets very bright light all day long and by the end of the season looks a little dry and rough. As soon as the temps warm up in May and the rains start it perks right up and puts out a flush of new roots and growth.
BTW, I really, really admire what you're doing by naturalizing orchids in the park! It's a whole long story, but I tried this a few years ago and ran into bureaucratic nonsense. I'm hatching a new plan for this Spring and you've re-inspired me, so thanks.
