I have a lot of plants... I'm almost embarrassed to say since I only got *really* involved in the hobby a little over a year ago.
Many of them, like my cool Masdies will be spending the summer indoors, but I have a bunch of Catt Alliance plants I want to get out, especially the rupicolous Laelias. At this point, the weather keeps turning wetter and cooler, though, so they may end up spending a little longer indoors. Same with any in S/H - I am concerned about the cooler weather + evaporative cooling in that respect.
My warm growers won't go out for another few weeks, at this point. I don't have too many, so that's a good, I guess.
The Stans may be the next to go out. I can shuffle a few plants in and out no problem. I did cave last night with the D. loddigessii and L. anceps - it was cold and wet, so they spent the night in the garage and went out this AM. It's been another cold/wet day, so they'll go back in tonight. I am hoping for the 70s tomorrow though!

Some of mine spend nearly the entire winter outdoors except for more extreme cold snaps (OK, I live in Georgia, so I am automatically cheating there).

Definitely cheating! Although it's rare, it's also not unheard of for us to get snow even into early June. If that happens, I will probably cry because the winter this year was so drawn out. If my family didn't live up here, I would live some place warmer in a heartbeat.
