Which orchids can I grow outside year-round in Tampa, FL?
So I just found out I'll be moving to Tampa, Florida, in June, and I'm curious as to what orchids I can choose from to grow outside. I don't know what amount of light I'll be able to give, so I'm looking at all types.
What do you Florida orchid growers grow outside year-round? SBOE (Santa Barbara Orchid Estate) has a list of temperature tolerant orchids, and they've got a nice selection, but I'm wondering what else is out there, especially looking for input from people in or near Tampa, since you all are the ones with the experience.
I won't have a greenhouse, and I'll be growing on our lanai (if I spelled that right), which is huge, so size isn't of a concern.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!
