Thanks for the info Ray. I'm heading out today to look at some, I think they
are a Phaleanopsis Hybrid, might try to sneak a few pictures.

I will. I'll post some pictures when I do get some, but it'll be in a
few
weeks,
I've still got lots to learn.

heat
isn't an issue, since we face about 330 on the compass, we have sun
all
afternoon, and with all the windows it's quite warm right now. We
only
have a small window AC unit, which tries to keep the main room
cooler.
Thanks for the advice, I'll keep reading posts here, and might just
make
a trip out today.

Oh you WILL buy an orchid or 2 very soon. You sound ready. SOunds like
you
have good enough light for many orchid types. The common beginner
orchid
is a Phalenopsis. Those and Dendrobiums are the one's you'll more than
likely find locally. Dens like a LOT of light and can go dry between
waterings. Phals like low-medium light and never like to go totally
dry.

Oh you're ready! Tell us what you get!
