There are no outdoor gardens in Florida that I know of (including in South Florida) that utilize orchids in their outdoor landscaping. Again, the native orchids of Florida are either terrestrial and experience a dormancy period; or are epiphytic and exist in very specific microclimates that do not freeze. The problem is not one or two nights of frost, but a week or more of temperatures below 40; or 1 or more hard freezes in a season.As far as I know, very few orchids are capable of surviving these conditions. If they were, then there would already be a considerable number of native species present.
