More arrests....
"Ray" wrote in message ...
I fully understand how having your place robbed would **** you off! I had some Cyps growing in my yard here in PA that did the same kind of walkabout. I still wonder where they go the shovels to dig themselves up. Here's a website from a company in PA that sells "documented salvage" Cypripediums. It seems highly suspicious they would have enough of "salvaged" plants to meet the demand for orders for three species. At the time I had first seen this link, they had much less of the other orchids listed, and were mostly cypripediums from "documented salvage". Just wondering as to your opinion if the site is legitimate and getting large numbers of Cypripediums somehow legally, or poachers. I've posted this on another forum, and found it posted on gardenweb, where people were discussing whether they thought it was poachers or not. I don't know if it is or isn't, but I believe it sounds suspicious. - theoneflasehaddock -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Books, Artwork, and Lots of Free Info! . . . . . . . . . . .

Just a touch, had a nice group of cow horn orchids on a piece of property that I enjoyed watching for years (South Floorida), until some sob came in at night and cleaned out the whole lot of them....I have no patience for unscrupulous wild collectors. Get permission, sample some and make clones whatever but don't strip mine an entire colony.... Rant Mode Off Ray... Dave |
