I agree, but you failed to estimate the life span of a swapped or gift
plant/division. I had one that lasted only 31 years.

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

Hello everybody,

Great to find this groep!

I have some Phalenopsis, Dendrobium and Paphiopedilum.

I wonder how old these orchids can become. Someone around who knows that?

Thanks,

ckt
