This is a warning that I saw on The Orchid Mall. Felt that it warranted repeating as this applies to ALL orchid growers regardless of the species. Be sure to click on the link for the whole story. Really rather sad.

This is a warning to ALL Orchid Enthusiasts to be aware and on the lookout for stolen orchid plants.
Please refer to the following link:
Gold Coast Cymbidium Growers - ****************** Major Orchid Theft
In addition to those plants listed, lycastes and Laelia anceps were also stolen. Due to the large size of these orchid plants, there is a possibility they may have already been divided into smaller divisions and sold on the black market. If you see or hear of any of these unique plants being offered for sale or hear of anyone purchasing one, please contact
orchidtheft2011@gmail.com. Any kind of information and help will be appreciated and kept confidential.
There is an updated article "A Real Orchid Thief" published in the most recent issue of the CSA Journal, pages 32 - 34.
