Outdoor orchids for Inland Empire, California
Default Outdoor orchids for Inland Empire, California

I have been looking online for lists of orchids that would do well outdoors (year-round or nearly so) in my location. Most of the lists I have found appear to be geared towards the coast but I am well over an hour from the beach.

I've seen some threads that list plants for some of the valleys of LA, but they were mainly monopodials.

Anyways, I have a small courtyard over which I put 55% aluminet, and plan to place misters to try to bring the summer temps down a bit. The netting will be doubled up in a manner to reduce peak sun hours, so effectively 70% shading during the worst part of the day. Misters will be set up on timers. It's more of a heat/dry tolerance issue for me than it is cold tolerance; I can always bring plants inside for a night or two.These are my potential candidates for outdoor growing:

Anancheilium chimborazoense
Anacheilium cochleatum
Cattleya longipes
Cattlianthe Faikon Ball
Denbrobium aphyllum
Den kingianum
Den moniliforme
Den Wave King
Doritis pulcherrima
Encyclia rhynchophora
Enc tampense
Epicatanthe Butterfly Kisses
Epidendrum cilare
Epi magnoliae
Epi parkinsonianum
Guaranthe aurantica
Holcoglossum wangii
Laelia anceps
Laelia Ancibarina
Laelia tenebrosa
Laelia purpurata
Lyonara Inge Graf
Maxillaria tenuifolia
Myrmecophila christiniae
Oncidium cebolleta
Rhyncholaelia digbyana

I'd be happy to hear what others are growing, or whether I am pushing my luck if I try to place these outside. Thanks!
