I just wanted to jump in here - I work in an office, and even people here with large windows in their personal offices have not had much success with orchid growing. I think a reason for this is that they tend to overwater them, and there is no air movement in these offices, so the plants start to rot and just generally decline. I'm always taking sad-looking orchids from my co-workers after they realized that they 'chids didn't want to be in the office any more than they did, LOL...
If she wants to get a plant for her office, I highly recommend bamboo or pothos, as neither require air movement and LOVE flourescent lights!! I have some amazing pothos on my desk, and its like a jungle, people love it. I included some pics of my jungle:
