It will probably do better in strong indirect sunlight. They are tough plants and I found mine very forgiving. You may find it hard getting hold of one of these but I would also suggest chatting to the guys at TOS (Tygerberg Orchid Society) about the best spot in your garden. You should consider the <i>Cymbidium</i> hybrids for your location. They would probably do much better and some of them make significant specimen plants with masses of large blooms in winter. They are also more easily available and I would suggest a visit to Duckitts in Darling at one of their open days. They often have some awesome plants available.<br /><br />Cheers, DavidDr David Vaughanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03592820081547544440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884430397145713702.post-374839021939743292015-07-23T21:50:49.595+10:002015-07-23T21:50:49.595+10:00Hey David.

I live in Durbanville - WC - and I'm looking for orchids (both epiphyte and terrestrial) that I could use as garden and pot plants. This one looks like it could be a contender.
