Cold Tolerant Orchids for 9a
Hello,
I am new here and was interested in knowing if anyone knew of orchids with larger flowers that were hardy enough to survive outdoors without protection in central Florida where the temperature can get down to 20 degrees. Laelia anceps has done well for me mounted in a tree and survived this past winter without damage even though some queen palms died. I recently purchased Encycla tampensis because I was told it had cold hardiness too. I am looking for ideas on other large flowered orchids that will do well mounted on trees in my area.
Thanks!
Krishna
