It used to be that you were innocent until proved guilty. The reverse seems
to be increasingly the case. How on earth can you prove that particular
picked stems are not wild, if they are identical to the wild, without
considerable effort and, perhaps, expense ?

Suppose I were to gather some seed from the wild, and replant it in my
garden ? Is that an offence, even when. spreading it around, will increase
its chance of survival ?

I can see that this is another item that Blair's thought police will require
when you try to sell your house (and garden) !
