It's 50% floribundum [25% insigne, 15% lowianum, 6% eburneum & 3% sanderae]; in my collection it'd get culture as per a standard [floribundum is a cold grower, as is insigne; lowianum & eburneum are more cool-cold]; sanderae alone is a cool-warm grower [though more favoring cool temps from what I know of it]
I don't know that I would put Butterball in the warmth-tolerant category; it's lineage too is pretty centered on cool-cold growing species. Generally look to hybrids with any of the Aussie native cymbidiums [ie canaliculatum, suave, madidum] or those Jensoa section that are free flowering [ie ensifolium & sinense] in their background for warmth tolerance.
