I brought my cattleyas inside for the winter, as it got below 50° last week, and I will keep them inside until February, just to be safe.

Yours are very nice, and it's great that you can keep them outside during December.

I've not had mine very long, and they were unpotted small plants that I bought at HD. Since they are still growing, I am hoping that they will one day bloom!

This is a hybrid...moved into another family from the Cats. "Rhyncattleanthe" Hardy to the 40's with no problems. For you this would be fine in the shelter of a tree or patio. Now,if yours are another type- the typical Purple or White Cat,those might be more tender.

Those are beautiful..

My phalenopsis are in bloom as are my african violets..

Just breathtaking! Thanks for sharing. I also have phalaenopsis on my patio, but I haven't looked at it for a while, it may be blooming. I should go look.
