Sydney Winter temps?

I have noticed this year that many of my orchids either havent flowered, or isnt doing too well. I was wondering is it to do with the change in weather in Sydney? Usually it doesnt get cold until the start of June but now its could since April. I have also noticed many changes in other flowers in my area.

I was wondering, is it a good idea to take smaller orchids indoors and have them on the window sills?

Regards
Mango

I don't think its the size of the orchid that makes it in need of protection but rather how cold tolerant it is. I leave my cold-tolerant orchid seedlings outside for the winter. I take my paphs in because they can't take the cold.

I find the 40C+ temps really brought everything to a halt. Now that its cooler things are growing again. It's been a strange season to be sure.
