Thank you everyone:)
Yes Bjs, I put them out on the porch every morning after the sun passes enough to let them have their shade:)

Thank you Kath, they seem to love being outside on the porch as long as they're in the shade:)

Thanks Guida, I found this one at a local grocery. I was kind of surprised to find something this unique! I named it Horizon because of the markings.

I've never had an orchid produce seeds. Your interest in this one has inspired me to try to pollinate it myself. I will study up on it, but this is probably a hybrid; and that means you never know what the flowers from the seeds will look like. I'll try to give it a go:)
