Slipper Orchid Forum Chatter on Illegal Paphs at the WOC

[stonedragonfarms]

Hello all...just wondering if anyone out there has any information about the illegal paphs that were offered for sale at the WOC in January? There's a post on the SOF that they were made available to the public at the close of the conference, but no corroberation. I am just curious if anyone else has heard tell of this...
Thanks!

I was there and heard it the same thing. "Plants were all bought by one person on the first day" was what I heard. Flasks had Cites papers from country of origin (Taiwan). I have not seen anything from Fish and Wildlife in writing.
