Hi, Peggy,

How smart of you to ask before you jump in! Lots of folks here will answer
your questions, but first it would help to know where you will grow your
orchids, and what conditions you have. I.e., inside or outside;
temperature range; how much sun; humidity; and anything else you can tell
us. There are many options in the orchid family, and the conditions you
offer will be a big determinate in deciding which plants will do the best
for you.

Welcome!

Diana
