Alright, so I've decided I want an indoor, tropical orchid (and yes I'm aware of the possible addiction that rises with orchid succes :p ).

We've just finished our new bathroom and I have some space next to the bath that looks kinda empty at the moment, so ideal for a plant. There's a small window next to it(west facing, but with huge trees opposite of the street, so little light in summer):

I'd like to make something like this:

So I need an orchid that is/can: tolerate low light, low temps at night (and possibly during the day too), variable humidity, epiphytic. Preferable flower color white or green.

Personally I came across Coelogyne pandurata, it looks absolutely stunning. But I read that the flowers only last a week, so that's another thing; long(er) lasting flowers.

Ideas welcome!
