So do you think a paph haynaldianum or lowii could grow and flower if residing in a east window? Just wondering....

Oh, they have already replaced it with a more expensive species in spike, the yellow besseae!

absolutely. (most orchids will grow even if given too little light). i think these two species will flower just fine as long as you remember to move them closer to the window during the winter months and drop the temps to 55-60 winter nights when they mature.
