| Exasperatus, I asked this same question last year and the really knowledgeable folk here agreed that there really is no life span for most orchids - they can live for 100 years or longer. Of course, after a long period of time it is no longer its original self because it has replaced leaves, roots, pbulbs, etc. Its the same plant but with new parts, if you will. Sort of like a '32 dual cowl phaeton.
