Thank you Andrew, that is valuable information. The "cool growing" was based on information gleaned from the Orchid Encyclopedia online but your information provides greater clarity on the issue.
As for Salt Lake City weather.... average high in July 94F (34.5C) but often reaching over 100F (38C) with relative humidity of less than 20%. Winters regularly single digits F (ca. -15C). I do keep my bamboo orchid and cymbidium in the shade of trees, outside in the summer & they do fine. In the winter they go in the greenhouse with the citrus trees.
For anyone interested I did post a few pics from my wardian case in my gallery.
