Ok... some suggestions:
1 Warm
I know this one gets tall but I suspect new plants wouldn't be that tall to start with... specimens are pricey but flowering sized plants are ok, canes are 18 in to 2 feet. Dendrobium spectabile
$25 from Oak Hill Gardens
9,90 € from Orchideen Lucke
1 Intermediate
Dendrochilium wenzellii
Oak Hill Gardens for $14
Another intermediate:
I'm seconding the suggestion of Maxilaria tenufolia... I"ve been entranced by them for awhile now and this would be a good chance to try one out. 
Yet another intermediate:
Zygopetalum maculatum (because I can't get enough of Zygos!!)
At Andy's Orchids for $20

Thanks, the first one is to large for this project. The second one I'm not able find in Canada, the Third is good and the last one I can't find in Europe.
Remember to use the links in the first post to find availability in all area's.

I was just getting my ideas tossed into the ring, I figured the Dend would be too big for the project, though I have hubby convinced that if I'm going to order project plants, I might as well order a few extras if I'm going to pay shipping 
I'm still looking to see if I can find all of them in Europe and Canada, I'll post links if I can find them.

Just found the Dendrochilium wenzelli in Canada: Ontario at this site:
Orchids in our Tropics for $30 Canadian
Its a little above the price range in Canada I think... but I'm still looking for another source as well. So it looks like the Dend and the Zygo from my list are feasible.
Thanks nenella for finding that in Europe for me, I knew I saw it on that site, just forgot to link it.

Thanks Sue, I will make a note for that one.
If anyone has reason a plant doesn't work please let me know. I don't have OW and rely only on IOSPE. And we all know how reliable it is.
