Mine are quite happy outside, and don't even get overhead protection from rain. But they don't get full sun... 60% shade cloth over them) L. anceps and Cymbidiums will certainly manage both cold and full sun, but are not summer bloomers. Look for those Sobralias...

Another one that is fine with full sun (in fact, needs it to bloom well) is Oerstidella schweinfurthiana . Great color, long blooming.

I will thanks a lot!!!
In "winter only' Cymbs and Dend Nobile and are in full sun.

So, I should risk a bit more and try to setting up a year-round outdoor choices ?
