Select plants which produce showy specimen plants and choose the host trees suitable for them with no low branches or dense foliage to shade them too much or hide them from view; schombburgkias, cyrtopodiums, grammatophyllums, Oncidium sphacelatum, Onc. luridum, Cattleya skinneri, C. guatemalensis, C. bowringiana, Dendrobium pierardii, Encyclia tampense, and other encyclias are good choices for growing on trees; in Florida, of course.
