This is, I think, the farthest north for natural range of any epiphytic native orchid in the US. Of course we humans can grow all sorts of epiphytes, but have to intervene in cultivation with regard to temperature or water or both. This one seems to be able to manage both chill and seasonal dryness, accepts whatever Mother Nature provides.
