Hi Love99;
I'll suggest the same. Get what you like from local garden center and get at least 2 plants so you can compare the evolution and then try here and there if you can meet the adequate lights, humidity and 🌡️ temperature range or, how you can arrange or provide that for optimal 'care" without going over your head.
The common sense is to grown what is easy for your house conditions, not only for your city, since windows and natural light at home will determine "what is appropriate" , but since you don't that the test is keep them alive and well. Then ...plan the next steps.
Orchid itself are not expensive, the investment goes to all what we need to do to creat an environment good for the less comercial plants.
BTW if is your birthday or people what's to give you anything ...tell them "Orchids please" is a great way to start a collection.
