For all folks unaware where Shahrez's live, I can see from the flag that he/she stays in Kuwait, that is, if still not know where, south to Iraq. This small area is very known for it's extremist weather, floating from very cold in winter (close to 0 C) to very hot in summer (45 to 50 C).

But despite all that, I don't understand why you can't grow orchids in your area. One of my orchid books (I forgot the name) mentioned that orchids are very opportunistic and can stand hard conditions.

For myself, I don't live away from you. I live in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, I know the weather doesn't behave as extream in summer, it is a little cooler here, but i still think you can do a very good job indoor.

My suggestion is to grow Phalaenopsis as starter, I grow many of them for years now, and I have no problem with them at all. The vegetative growth is kicking, thanks to my set of florescent lamps, and that prevents the exposure to heat comming from the window. Also in this winter i had my two oldest Phals spiked, so even in winter the temperature is helping blooming. I think you can use your conditions in your advance only if you did not make mistakes regarding other conditions like overwatering or exposed to fungal attacks.

all the best for you hommie,
