Welcome to the Orchid Board! Sadly, over the last several years, many orchid growers have closed their doors permanently. Since I started growing orchids just six years ago, we lost two wonderful ones in my state.
Hopefully, shows will be able to safely resume in the not-too-distant future. Again, those may or may not be within easy driving distance. Many of us mail-order orchids, and as already suggested, the vendor feedback area can be helpful in that regard.
I want to second the advice to research different types of orchids to learn which ones are most likely to do well in your growing conditions, meaning what are their needs as far as light, temperature, humidity, and of course, space, if yours is limited.
Best of luck to you, and don't hesitate to ask more questions here.
