My intergeneric started dropping flowers within a week of temps in the high 80's...and i give it more moisture than my phals. Those little roots do not like to dry out.

I am not sure. I picked this one up from a greenhouse in Amarillo, nearly the same latitude and about 200 miles from where I am, so I assume the summer heat is about the same. According to the greenhouse worker it had been sitting around homeless for quite a while, and had produced sprays of flowers that she was quite impressed with. She had not watered in a long time and the roots and bulbs were rather desiccated/shriveled. The new bulbs that are forming look very nice.
