Is this an oncidium-type orchid? If so, they seem to get small black spots on their leaves. To answer your second question, yes you can grow cattleyas without a greenhouse, though you may do better with compact varieties. I grew the orchid show here indoors.

I just bought this one and do not want to put it with the others until I think it is OK. I would like to grow cattleya again but out of a green house. Is this possible? Where can I buy them? thanks Barbara What has happened to my orchids with tiny dark specks on the back of the leaves?.

However, I'm told that the 'Nora' clone is from H&R Orchids in Hawaii so you may want to contact them. I got this at our local meeting.
