Buying orchto bring back to states

[Greenacres kid]

Can I buy orchids in the Caymans to take back to the states? Where in the Caymans would I go to buy them in them?

Why would you want to go abroad to buy orchids when you can buy them from local farms, green house of sellers, from members here in the board, Ebay or online stores here in the US? Not to mention supermarkets, grocery stores, Lowe's, Home Depot and Walmart....
you might get in trouble if the customs official from the border or in the airport finds out that the orchid you are bringing in is from the endangered species list or poached from the wilds containing virus and pests....you might get fined and spend time in jail....
