Mr. Help, (I love saying this)
Hi there. 
I have a chart for each genera.
Name
Date purchased
Vendor
Size (division, seedling, BS)
Color
Fragrance
Bloom History: date and how many blooms
Culture History (How did I get the plant: bare root, plastic pot, what media was used), subsequent repotting on my part
Current Culture (how is it potted clay, plastic, bareroot, media used size of pot, when potted) |

Maria beat me to it- I was going to suggest when they started and ended blooming each time.
Perhaps also, what times of year it seemed to put out the most growth, or when it put out keikis or new leads.

I've been meaning to make something like this on Excel. If anybody is interested, I could send them a blank copy to use.

I am currently using an Excel workbook that includes a summary page of all my orchids. Each orchid has it's own tab within the workbook that includes most of the information detailed in the posts above. If anyone is interested in using it as a template, let me know via PM (along with your email address) and I will email it to you.
