FULL SUN ORCHIDS
Anyone, esp in Florida, know which orchids can thrive in full sun (not shaded sun). I live in Tampa Bay, and while I grow under shadecloth, I have a lot of open areas where I would love to grow orchids. They would get 3-4 hours of sun. I grow the usual epidendrums and spathoglottis in sunny areas, but my cattleyas never seem to adapt just burn. Perhaps certain species? I do not grow Vandas or their relatives, and frankly, do not care to as they require too much attention. Any ideas? I can always try to acclimate some suggestions...Thanks! Greg in New Port Richey
