I live in Las Vegas where you melt in summer and freeze in winter. What plants can I plant in pots on patio that will survive here. All my orchids died this pass summer even though they were inside. Wondered if air conditioner was to blame. I am from California where had lots of plants inside and out. Sad that everything plant here dies.
