These are vandas and native to Thailand. They will want a warm winter.
Not
less than 60F or maybe more like 62F. They will want a humid environment
too, something that can be a challenge to provide indoors. (More than 50%
humidity) and they will want higher, stronger light for a full day at
least
(12 hrs). They can take a few hours of direct light (in the AM) but they
will burn too. In places like Singapore and Hawaii and parts of Florida
these can grow outside becasue the temps and humidity are naturally
correct.
The rest of us have to modify our environment to suit them, or get a
greenhouse or other set up in which to house them while they grow, then
bring them in to the house when they flower.

Thanks to everyone who replied. It has been most helpful to my
understanding
of the term light in orchids' literature..

I would like to grow Dr. Anek and Vanda Pakchong. I would like to build
a
trellis to hang the orchids and thus am looking a "correct" location.

Thanks once again.
