My go to orchid for small, easy and constant bloomer is Howeara lava burst. I think they are adorable. There's also on Oncidium called Twinkle that I like quite a lot.

@Daisyl, music lover yes, my singing...no
It doesn't really sound musical but it's fun!!!
I will look at all mentioned when my company leaves, lol
Or I'll just holler, "get out, I need to orchid shop now!"

Lindsey, Cute Psychopsis. Which one is it?
Mine is Mendenhall - it has been blooming since last fall, one flower at a time:

I can definitely vouch for Gerberara snow ballet. It took about two months off during the summer heat, but has bloomed constantly, aside from that with no effort on my part. I don't know about it being a windowsill plant though... maybe for a while...it increases like Maikai Mayumi.
OOH and AHH, I will put those on my list, I have a few from your bloom thread
Thanks for the great info and the pix, keep the pix coming if you have time,

I ended up ordering a Grammatophyllum scriptum from Ken and it has survived 48 or 72 hours
I wouldn't mind if y'all posted as many pix as you want
Next year, I hope to be sharing blooms of my own
Thanks again for all of you help and enabling,

I think we all suffer from that...
Thank you for the ID Lindsey, with or without the P, its a great looking plant. It is going on the wishlist. Just when I thought that pesky list was gone forever.
Edited (twice) because I can't type today.

I didn't think to grab a screen shot till after but I was adding a Passiflora Lady Margaret to the database, I typed it in, popped up, no such plant or however it was phrased
I looked at search line. It said, "pass the igloos Lady Margaret"
