| Kelly Lea is one of my favorites. It is in the Cattleya group of orchids. It is capable of flowering all year round and blooming many times. It does very well in baskets as well as pots.
It is flowering size and does not get much taller. It may need more light than you have in the window. Cattleya need 3500 foot candles of light to flower and most homes do not get over about 1500. You will need supplemental light or put it outside during the summer. It can flower 2-3 times in a Maine summer. It will handle temperatures down to 40 at night.
Most common Dendrobiums flower from a spike at the top of the plant not the bottom like a Phal. Any growth at the bottom is a new cane. Dendrobiums also need about 3000 foot candles to flower and you may need to put it outside soon. Maine summer sun is about 9000 foot candles so you will need afternoon shade for these plants outside
