If you can offer just a little protection to keep the plants in the 40°s during winter nights you should be able to grow a lot of the cattleya genus. My temp range is about 45-110 through the year with low humidity so I focus on bifoliate cattleya

I was reading a bit and there's actually quiet a few Catts that would do fine in non-coastal parts Texas if they're watered enough, kept from the cold in winter and get shade after a little morning sun when it gets harsh in summer.
The Laelia pumila and Sophronitis cernua I have didn't seem to mind the heat so long as they were in the shade and were watered enough. I haven't seen a bloom on Laelia pumila yet, although it was done with it's flowers by the time I got it at the end of summer/beginning of fall.
