Well, dendrobiums can take full sun. Mine are out in it right now.
However, this would be an excellent opportunity for you to introduce
yourself to the new neighbors. Geez, I'd give anything to have an
orchid-growing neighbor...

Just from driving by, I can tell they're orchids. No flower
spikes and dendrobium-like canes. Am I pretty safe if I stop
and tell them that the fact that those orchids are in direct
sunlight from morning until dusk is probably not a good thing
for them even without knowing what exact orchid it is?
