Florida panhandle orchid recommendations

[avian]

I wanted to purchase one or two orchids as a gift for one of my friends who lives in the Florida panhandle area. I'm not sure what types of orchids would be the best for that area so would like some suggestions. She would probably keep the orchids outdoors.

Also if you have recommendations for a great FL orchid nursery I would appreciate that information. Not going to name the vendors but sent some emails to one asking about certain plants and never received any replies and sent email and called and left voicemail message with another and also never received a reply. Guess they are too busy to respond but, when they don't reply I don't necessarily feel comfortable purchasing from them. Been about 2 weeks for one and a week for the other. The orchid growers I purchase from for myself respond to emails or calls in a timely manner.
