Where'd you hear that? It's a bit of an over generalization. While it is true that the nature of most of our growing spaces results in said drop in temperature, we must not confuse that with the assumption that all orchids need a drop in night time temperature

This name is expressed incorrectly. Rex is the grex, not a cultivar name. The correct expression is: Brassia Rex.

I don't have any of my reference materials in front of me at themoment but I think verstegianum is a species therefore it should not be capitalized.

The genus has been changed for this species. It is now properly called Guarianthe. The species name is also misspelled. The complete correct name is: Guarianthe aurantiaca.
