Smuggling wild orchids :(
Default

Small world story here... I was just at a local orchid show, and talking to a seller about going to Vietnam and importing some orchids. Well, he tells me to make sure they're not wild collected, and that you can get in big trouble for it. So he then admits he got in trouble for a relative sending him plants. It's the same guy. He said to look it up on the internet. I had just bought some seedlings from him, and he even gave me one free, so he doesn't seem to be the greedy type. He said that even if only one was wild collected, the whole batch is declared wild, and you're in deep trouble. Also told me how they tell if it's wild collected, just in case.
