I think this could became an interesting challenge.
Just make a list of orchids making it possible to have at least one plant in flower for each month of the year.
Given the hight number of species and variety of orchids should be something possible.
If possible on that list put something that should be found ...

Given that no one reply, i start with this info that i found today where is said that the adult plant of the Brassavola nodosa are in bloom almost continuously.
So, theorically, with only one plant is possible obtain flower all the year.
However i prefer a list of plant capable of cover all the year instead the indication of only one plant.
This is just an example.

Alessandro, I think that you need to divide into different growing conditions or other factors so that different people can answer .....
For example at I grow in my living room & have about 70 plants.
The plants that do the 'best 'for me are classed Intermediate to Warm.
At the moment I have the following plants in bloom:
5 noid phals..
Paph Pinocchio
Zygopetalum hybrid (buds just started opening yesterday)
ascocenda minatum (nearly finished flowering)
neofinetia falcata (just started opening buds 2 days ago)
Asco.Princess Mikassa 'blue' been in flower over a month and still nice
Gastrochilius japonicus (2/3 weeks in flower still ok)
Haraella retrocalla (x2 in flower..since? 2 months?)
Phal bellina first flower opened 2/3 days ago..
I was also given a hybrid Miltonia 4 weeks ago which is in full flower but I received this plant in flower with a lot of buds...so nothing to do with my growing :d
I also have a couple other plants in spike...
voilą
Ciao

Any of the cochlopetalum Paphs (primulinum, liemianum, glaucophyllum, etc.) and hybrids within the group (like Pinocchio) can have sequential flowers almost continuously for well over a year from a single spike. A big mature plant can have multiple spikes in flower at once with flowers every month, essentially forever.

Probably i haven't explained well enough.
I like see a list of variety regardless the conditions, regardless the numbers of plants necessary, for obtain flowers every month.
In a hypothetical infinite space, with no problems with the reproducibility of the appropriate climatic conditions, etc..
A kind of daydream.
Given that the answer became too easy because exist different orchids that thanks their sequential flowers are capable too conver well over a year, this time I add a clause:
specify one different variety (so full name of species and specific variety) for each single month, that make flower starting a certain month.
So you should specify 12 different variety of orchids.
If possible, specify even orchids from different species.
