I must have a dozen or so Cymbidiums growing in large pots under a live oak tree. In the summer, I drag the pots closer to the tree. In the fall, I drag them back out into more sun. All seem to do well for me. My Cym Leodogran 'Cradlemont' won best in show last month in Tampa. All are warm growers.
I never thought of Encyclias as small flower types. Just ask Ursula about small flowers!
