LOTS. There are countless numbers of hot-growing orchids as most come from the tropics. For a beginner, stay away from more challenging intermediate/cool types until you can master their cultivation. Try Dendrobium, Cattleya, Oncidium (dancing ladies), Phalaenopsis (moth orchid), smaller vanda types (Ascocenda, Ascocentrum), Doritis, Spathoglottis etc... The most important thing in orchid growing is that they are very different from CPs. The roots do not like to be wet permanently, and best growth is achieved by giving rapid regular wetting/drying cycles, which means very well-drained, airy media.
