Everglades Orchids specialized in warmth tolerant cymbidiums. Although they are no longer in business, they did sell the majority of their cym collection to Carter and Holmes. Hybrids with Cym. ensifolium have heat tolerance. Casa de las Orquideas of Solana Beach, CA may be another source of warmth tolerant cyms.

I personally grew Cym. sinense and Cym. ensifolium in warmer weather, among a few other species (which I can't think of right now)... there are many that will grow in warm, and even more in cooler weather...

I just got my first warm-growing Cym...it's a hybrid named Cym Florida Flamingo 'Pink Passion'.
The pics online show a real pink color, while mine is a little different.

Florida Flamingo is one cymbidium I would like to have. Have a lot of cymbidiums - would trade a good warm grower for it if you are interested?

Probably depends on which miniature species. There are a few leafless Cymbidium, which I believe need much cooler weather...
