Larry,
Here in Miami I have several phalaenopsis mounted on trees. They
survived a few 40 degree F nights. Most are blooming right now!

Larry,

Check out the offerings at Santa Barbara Orchid Estate. Everything
listed as
temperature tolerant can grow down to freezing. You would be
surprised at
the number of Cattleya hybrids that don't mind a good chill in the
winter.

There are a LOT of orchids you can put into palm trees if you don't
experience freezing weather.

I would love to be able to tie some of the orchids to the palm trees
in my
back yard. But it gets too cold here in the winter. I'd have to
pull them
