Jim, around here - if I think terrestrials, I think Cypripediums, Habenarias, Spiranthes, Bletillas, hardy Calanthe. Closer to home/greenhouse I am thinking Jewel Orchids and related, Habenarias, probably Cymbidiums.
Now closer to you/in your climate - if you are talking more or less hobbyists growing Orchids in the ground - yes, Cymbidiums, Spathoglottis, Phaius?
Ken, you didn't do anything wrong, those you mentioned, do lose leaves and regrow them somewhat seasonally, depending on the amount of water (or withheld).
Ludisia discolor - I have rescued one of those by placing it into full sun one Summer, thinking it was dead. Would you believe it came back in the Fall better than ever? I give them a bit more sun ever since that experience, but of course not as extreme.
