There have certainly been times that I thought the lifespan of an orchid was
dependent on the price you paid for it.

$1-$5 10 years
$6-$15 8 years
$16-$35 6 years
$36-$75 3 years
$76-$250 2 years
$251-$500 1 year
$500-$2000 9 months
over $2000 is anybody's guess

G Mick - You have done it again. You have NAILED it down
concisely. It can also be graded by the length of time it took
you to find the particular plant you wanted.

Seriously I have a Catt and John has a Paph. That were given to
us over 20 years ago. The grower said he had grown the catt for
over 10 year. I have seen Den's with enough canes to look like a
bamboo clump. Such growth takes years of care if you are to
maintain the leaves.
