Does this grow outside all year round

Hi Bjs this orchid is growing in my greenhouse - but my greenhouse is a different set-up to greenhouses over there. It's a structure attached to the whole western side of our house with shadecloth as roofing. It is not temperature controlled but it does provides shelter from the strong autumn/winter winds while letting in the rain. The shadecloth cuts out 70% of the sun's UV rays and provides cooler temps. inside during summer. The greenhouse allows me to grow certain plants that would definitely not survive the harsh sunlight and heat of our summers if they were growing in the outside gardens.
