Growing Catts Outdoors??

I am working on an orchid tree and plan to grow mounted Laelias and Catt hybrids on cork bark. I hit a 'Hawaiian Grower Fire Sale' on Catts, SLC's, BLC's and Lc's in the last few hours of the Fascination of Orchids Show and bought eight. I know the Laelias will do great, but what about the others????
Our winter temps can get down to the low thirties overnight a handful of nights per year, and the same with temps above 95 degrees. Humidity is always low, especially in summer, maybe 20-40% consistently and as low as 10% when really hot.
In your opinions, how dominant will the Laelia influence be? Impossible question, I know. Have any of you (especially in California or Australia) grown Catt hybrids outdoors year round??
