Many thanks peewee, that's exactly my plan, I can take my few Vandacious inside, even the fact I think they should survive, as I mentioned, my friends in Key west have dozens of Vandas mounted on the trees, left outside even in cold nights, take seedlings, and cover Grammatophyllum. I am not really sure about phals - I know everyone mentions them here regarding cold temps, but these are my oldest orchids, staying outside non stop for last 5-6 years, and never ever had any issues, the opposite, normally blooming after cold winter:-) Everything else will just shake little bit outside till the day worm up:-)
