Some quick observations. The pot looks to be about twice the size needed. A smaller pot will put more emphasis on the orchid. When you want to repot, or just for the fun of it, pull it out to check the roots, you might want to try a larger bark.
I'm sure that most people on this board have tried orchids outside. There are probably just as many stories of their orchids flourishing as there are of ones that bit the dust. Just remember, this is Michigan. It's going down to 52 tonight and may snow on the fourth of July. You need to watch the weather reports. On the other hand, being rained on, and a nice humid summer may be just what it needs. Consider also the additional critters that may get access.
Hope this helps
