:shock: Well no, it's not what you think :twisted: ...I'm curious if there's a reasonably consistent way of determining ballpark how old a Paph is.

Nope... Not even at the DNA level. Paphs are effectively immortal. If you have an awarded clone, you can always look up the date of the award... That is a good start. Sometimes we can guess based on type and breeding, but people remake old crosses all the time. A new cross is easier.
