Bulbophyllum (Megaclinium) purpureorhachis
this has long been on my list of dream orchids and i believe it will be very happy in my climate...i have one question which is about the light tolerance
i found this
"Found in the Congo, Cameroon, Gabon, Ivory Coast and Zaire in lowland forests as a medium sized, hot growing epiphyte"
and that screams Phal light or in that range to me and i currently grow all my bulbs really bright in the area of my lath house that is half under the eave...so half mottled sunlight and half bright shade
since this is a pricey orchid ( by my standards anyways) i don't want it to be unhappy or worse, to die.
I gut says it is okay but i wanted to get some expert opinions
