Heat alone may not be the issue... Peter T. Lin (Diamond Orchids) grows these superbly in Inland southern California (Summer highs frequently into triple digits F) But there is at least some night cooling and the overall humidity no doubt lower than Texas, and there's also the fall cool-down and cool winter. So likely the whole combination of factors, and timing, are also important. They'll take heat but not 24/7 I suspect. (His Neos and Sophronitis also thrive, lots of awards... he grows a lot at Sunset Valley Orchids, but these he generally has been growing at home)
