Most common form of orchid plants and must be considered for 2nd choice if not 1st. Very common and readily available in most areas. Very easy to care for and available in a wide variety of colors.
Cattleya
Very exotic in nature but more difficult to locate. Some even produce a pleasing hint of fragrance similar to that of a hyacinth.

Also, welcome a once or twice a month feeding with a liquid fertilizer. Dendrobiums, Cattleyas and Oncidiums enjoy bright indirect light. Phalaenopsis, Paphiopedilum, and Miltonias adore the shade.
They also grow easily near a window or on a porch. Vandas and Ascocendas love lots of water; increase watering to 2 or 3 times a week.
