Temperature ranges for Scuticarias?

[Roberta]

There are a LOT of cool growing orchids that should grow really well for you. (Check out the Index of plants on my website, I'm in coastal Orange County). To me, "cool" means "can tolerate temps close to frost". For those, the challenge is heat (I have given up on Den. cuthbertsonii) But I have found lots and lots that do just fine outside with whatever nature throws at them... when it is hot, I water more.

Also note the link to the Southern California Orchid Species Society blog (also in my signature line) Most of what is shown there is outdoor-grown (coastal southern California)
