Yes, like "Isurus" said, we can most definitely rule out Neofinetia falcata as being wild collected. This plant is such a staple in the hobby that it really isn't worth acquiring plants from the wild.
And yes, as "orchidsarefun" said, there is no way to tell if the orchids are seed grown just by appearances.
I don't think people really bother cloning Neofinetia falcata much either, this isn't worth the cost to make that happen. It's cheaper to obtain new plants by either division or seed. I'm not saying there are absolutely no clones of Neofinetia falcata in the hobby, but it is not to the same degree as how many hybrid Phals are mass produced.
