How hardy is this plant? I get the impression it's a zone 9er, but
sometimes the literature is too conservative. Does anyone hava any
experience with this one in cooler climates?

Hi Steve:
Rather than a 9er take it for 10er. I have grown this and two other species
in the genus and all demand warm conditions even when dormant in winter.
Otherwise they are as easy to flower as Phaedranassas and the flowers are
spectacular and long lasting. E. bicolor offsets like mad.
Regards
Alberto
