As a reminder to what started this discussion. This is the statement that caused my concern:

"It's fairly dark in here, since I don't care for sunlight myself, and if I do have sunlight, it's always diffused a great deal. Nice and shady, never bright."

I guess it surprised me when I looked at this thread that it took until Liz to make serious mention of this, although Sadie did touch on it.

It reminded me of another discussion in another place when someone asked what orchids would do well 12 feet from a west facing window. There must have been a good dozen posts naming all sorts of orchids that would like that. In a fit of frustration I finally said silk. Naturally, I was the bad guy.
