Period. There are many epiphytic species that may be equally hardy or even hardier in Asia. For example, there are at least three species that would be much hardier than EC in Hokkaido, Japan. Those are: Goodyera pendula, Malaxis monophyllos, and Neottianthe fujisanensis. Unfortunately, they are difficult to grow, partly because they do not take heat. Somebody on Flickr mentioned "America really should have the most cold-tolerant orchid in the world" and "national Pride," but that is quite laughable in my humble opinion.
