Default too cold for lycatse lassioglossa?

shoot! yesterday i brought my orchids outside. i have cool temperature growing orchids. it hit the 60s. i live out here in the Seattle area. i brought in my masdevallias but forgot about my lycaste lassioglossa and it dipped into the 30s with frost. i did bring it right in this morning. the pesdobulbs look ok but i might have lost the leaves. do you guys think the whole plant is shot though?

It is to early to tell. The plant can be deciduous and survive without leaves. The bulb can stand low temps, but rot can eventually destroy the bulb. You have to wait and see.

That's a shame about the leaves. We grow Lycaste's generally down to the low 30's here and that's all winter long without any losses but it sounds like yours got hit hard. Do you have a solid roof over where it grows? Or is it just in the open air?
