I am assuming these take cooler temps than I can provide here in Florida, right?

this species should do well in florida if provided with the right conditions. I live towards the northern end of the species distribution and the climate is about the same as florida (same latitude) being subtropical. You would probably want to obtain plants (tubers) that came from the northern part of its range so they are already adapted to your type of climate. I have yet to see this species in the wild but i'm hoping to find it this year. Its one i will be looking for this year no doubt. I have seen many other pterostylis but not this one. Another good one that is quite easy to grow in a pot is Pterostylis baptistii. It grows around here as well. It has quite a large flower, arguably the largest of the genus. Very interesting plants.
