Breathtaking. I just want more of my orchids to grow to adulthood like that.

It almost seems that once they reach a certain size, they become so much more vigorous and hardy (not temperature, but disease and insect tolerant). Possibly it's because they have enough leaves to shrug off a little damage and keep going.

Maybe that's what I'm working towards, a smaller collection of bigger mature orchids. It's certainly a case of 'survival of the fittest' in my outdoor endeavors here.
