Growing orchids outside?

[snowflake311]

I live in a place where I can not keep my orchids outside year round. The weather is getting warm during the day high 60s to 70. At night it gets to 36 so I only keep my Cym out at night right now. I bring the other in at night and my house temp drops down to 55 at night.

This summer I want to keep them all out. I also live in a place where we don't have many bugs or insect problems that bother plants.

How many of you throw your orchids outside to grow? If you do where do you live and what types do you leave out?

I want to learn more about growing these plants outside.

Here are all my larger Orchids relaxing on the porch it is East facing with some trees for shade. I keep my Paphs and Phals inside.
