I was wondering if there is such thing as a miniature paph?

for sure

species such as helenae and barbigerum are truly miniature plants. a 2.5" square tall pot can hold a 'specimen size' of those species with 10+ growth! they have really cute flowers too

Here's a picture of a hybrid cross with barbigerum. This plant is in a 7cm pot and has 3 fans. Leaf span approx 20cm.

It's the one in the front in this picture (the back one is a "normal" sized Paph).

Paph. henryanum is another little cutie patootie. It has beautiful chocolate brown vertical striping on a lime green dorsal. Very nice! I can't wait for mine to bloom.
