Definitely Paph Pinnochio. Mine hasn't stopped blooming for years! Also - and I don't know how normal this is - but this year my dend. bracteosum has been flowering since last spring. It's putting out new clusters even now. That's never happened before. It's always been a spring/summer bloomer for me.
EDIT: I just got a Psychopsis kalihi in bloom this week, with two more spikes coming up! If it is as consistent as I hear, I am very excited!
And yes, restrepias are good too. My Scaphosepalum anchoriferum from Andy's Orchids blooms randomly throughout the year.

I think I have you all beat! My Moth Orchid Mulberry Silkus has been in bloom for over 15 years! Of course the flowers and leaves need a occasional cleaning/dusting and most important, never over head water the Silkus!

I'm not sure. We don't have silk worms here. It's very hardy though, and quite fastgrowing - for a Vanda anyway.../Users/jessehargraves/Desktop/Wong Poh Nee sml.jpg

Long bloom
Try Epi. radiatum. 6 mos. (OK, it doesn't quite meet your criteria) but also has a great fragrance.

I don't know if this one has been mentioned yet (not willing to read through all 11 pages) but Paphiopedilum "Nike's Sunny Delight" blooms without stopping. I bought it a few months ago as it was just putting up a flower stalk, thus far, it has produced 4 flowers sequentially and just keeps going. I also have long lasting results with Zygonesia cynosure (Sp) "Blue Birds" and Phal "Brother Sarah Gold" (bonus, fragrant Phal). The Brother Sarah has waxy blooms, which I swear make it last longer.

PICS...!!!
Discovered the other reply option had jpg access so here you go.
A pic of the old girls current blooms
One of the spike with a smaller spike held up as a comparison, (the small one is a standard spike from any of my other Phals..!!).
One of the new leaf with the new spike in the top right.
Hope this works....:-)
