Looking for orchid suggestions
Default

How small?
Some easy, small ones are the Oncidium Twinkles. Most of them bloom more than once a year when they are large enough and the blooms last a while. They are quite popular right now for these reasons.

Potinara Burana Beauty 'Burana' is fragrant, does not get large, and blooms a few times a year. It is easy to grow. Also quite popular.

Orchids that bloom and bloom are Haraella rectrocalla, Angraecum distichum, Dendrobium Lichenastrum and many Zygopetalums (Jumping Jack, Advance Australia, etc.). Some Phal-type Dendrobiums can be in bloom most of the year once they get established. The first three I mentioned are miniature orchids, often mounted, and need watered once or twice a day. They do better in a windowsill with humid conditions (I have my mounted orchids hanging near the window above my kitchen sink during the winter).

Hausermann's has a 'miniature' section as well as a mounted section where the orchids are usually small. Andy's has a filter to help find the perfect orchid. You can always call Hausermann's, Andy's Orchids, or another orchid vendor and tell them the growing conditions and qualities you want an ask for suggestions. Most vendors are happy to help.
