Empress, if I can add to this here - it has been my experience that specific plants follow ME, not the other way around. Bill gave you sound advice!
Our Orchid threads here are arranged by their blooming times, so you might want to look at those monthly bloom threads, see what hits your eye and then ask?
Your best bet is to look for Orchid nurseries in your area and buy from them. Are there open houses or a show? If you really want to expand your collection. I would quit picking up rescues. Buy some good plants from a reputable source and enjoy.
Sorry, but if you wish to go into water culture, those gorgeous epiphytic Orchids, which we post into our forum here, are not suitable for water culture.
Watering needs to be done as needed!
We can happily guide you, if you are so inclined.
