i moved one phal outside, because it was doing poorly inside for a long long time. it hadsulked for about a year. its leaves are plumper now, but im not putting anymore outside. except maybe for the one i just got specifically to mount and have outside in summer :\
I think your phal should be fine outside as long as it's not getting too much sun. Just bring it in when the lows get into lower 50s.
Many Phal species (if not most) seem to be warm to hot growers

You might also ask specifically in the phal forums to get more feedback

I know many growers in Florida have Phals outside in the summer - hot there. I would expect most hybrids have warm growers in their heritage - and that even the intermediate growing species can take some heat so long as they aren't cooking in full sun. My house gets into the 90s during heat spells. You should ask, or chat with, Amandalee, Susiep, Sue, or many of our other members in Florida

35C = 95F
also - look at the places they are indigenous too

Even if you don't know the species behind a cross, just looking at the natural environment where most of a Genus (Phalaenopsis) is found is great homework to do for any orchid grower.

Google hardy orchids and you should get some vendors.
Philip (King of orchid growing) gave me a list of many that would winter outside in CO on my thread here, as well as some prices/vendors, I believe. http://www.orchidboard.com/community...eed-ideas.html

Hardy terrestrial orchids for perennial gardens
Hardy orchids for sale
First two results from a google search.
And if you search these vendors on the board I bet you'd find some reviews.
