Purple Martin 'Champion', can stay in bloom for more than six months. Look for compact growing cattleya crosses that bloom more than once a year like Brassocattleya Hoku Gem 'Freckles' which blooms several times a year. My Blc. Hawaii Stars can bloom four times a year. Paph Pinocchio has a reputation for blooming for long periods of time, in some cases more than a year. Good luck in your quest.
Those are all great ideas! I have several nurseries here in the Chicago area. I'll start checking them out for these guys. If you have other ideas you could PM me.
