So only morning sun. Wish I could get some of that, but in winter I at least get that from the south. My Orchid shack is a lean to built against a ten ft. block wall, so early morning sun is blocked, when we actually have morning sun. Usually our "marine layer" hangs around until at least 10am. Then we get the full western sun in the afternoon. Not the best environment for orchids, or any other plants.
