Any orchid can be "easy" or "difficult" to grow and flower depending on whether or not it gets the culture it needs. Even the "easiest" orchid willnot grow and flower if it doesn't have the conditions (light, water, temperature, etc) that it needs.

Having said that, there are lots of orchids that need conditions similar to what most of us have in our homes. Oncidiums are among them. Some of the most frequently flowering (about 2 times a year) Ondiciums I have has are:
Odontocidium Susan Kaufman
Odontocidium Tiger Barb
Odon'tocisium Wildlcat

These should also be pretty easy to find.
