Warmth-tolerant Masdevallias or Draculas?
I grow mostly cattleya species; however, I would like to try my hand at masdevallias and/or draculas. Does anyone know if there are warmth-tolerant species in either genus? I can easily give them intermediate temperatures during the winter (the sunroom with the cattleyas gets down in the neighborhood of 54 to 58 F at night, and climbs to between 65 and 75 F during the day), but the plants would have to be able to tolerate very warm to sometimes hot Midwest summers where the humidity remains continuously high and the night temperatures generally don't fall below 65 F. I know growing a masdevallia or dracula in these conditions is something of a long shot. But there are so many species among them that I thought there might actually be one or two that could handle what I can provide. Thank you!
