any orchid varieties tolerant to west window?

[kvet]

Hi!
I'm helping a family member who wants some slow-growing, indoor plants on a west-facing bay window that gets direct sunlight after about 1-2pm in Los Angeles area. Not possible to put up a sheer curtain or anything else to diffuse the light.

My own experience has always been around east-facing windows and the plants do very well, but this scenario with afternoon sun.. I dunno. If orchids aren't a good idea for this, anything else that is slow growing, alive*, requiring minimal care you'd suggest?

Thank you

* I suggested lego orchids, but, meh.
