Here are a couple in the general area. As far as which type of orchid, if
they aren't home much you might want to consider a mounted Dendrobium, which
can be hung out in a tree where it will get hit by the sprinkler system.

Hello, Diana,
North Port is in between Fort Myers and Sarasotan just above Port
Charlotte. Thanks for answering my inquiry!

Hi,
I'll be visiting friends in North Port FL later this month and would
love to gift them with an orchid as a house/housewarming gift.
Is there a grower in that area you can recommend to me?
Being as this is their second home are there orchids you can recommend
that will do well in their garden without too much fussing?
Thanks for your help.
