What kind of information are you seeking?
I think I shared some info in my previous post.
Anyways, from the same batch could mean a few things. The person just meant the orchids all came in one shipment from a nursery.
At the nursery, from the same batch would probably mean all the plants were from the same cross, like seedlings that originated from the same cross sharing the same parents.
In the latter term, the batch is the same as the grex.
Within the grex, the variation can be quite high: flower size, flower shape, color, color patterns, plant size, growing habits (including tolerance and preference of temperature and such)...
Some cross produce quite stable outcome while many do not. Among so many different progenies within the same cross, some of the better ones are kept and used for future breeding, or they are kept and divided to keep the high quality of those specific plants.
This makes seed grown paphs much cheaper than divisions of some awarded or rare paphs.
I have a bunch of paphs of the same batch, and they all look quite different.
