Yes, in my greenhouse.
The temperature range varies greatly by time of year.
In the summer, the hot south central Mississippi (not coastal) heat dominates. I have a very powerful ventilation fan that keeps the greenhouse interior temperature very close to outdoors. Once nights start dropping below 65F inside the closed up greenhouse, the heater prevents temperatures from dropping below 65F.
Summer - South central Mississippi ambient (daytime 95-100F, nighttime 70-75F). A 30F difference between between day and night isn't unusual. Very high humidity.
Winter - Heated (Cloudy days, 75F daytime, 65F nighttime), sunny days daytime temperatures are roughly 10F warmer when the sun is shining.

Cattleya pupurata v. carnea 'Ruby' FCC-AOS. I don't think I'll ever get used to the renaming. This is and probably always will be Laelia pupurata when I think about it. Four spikes, 12 flowers. Most of the flowers opened yesterday, so they have not completely "unfurled".
