David Hunt orchids
Hi,
I ordered the following from David Hunt: Arachnis flos-aeris 6.00 Seidenfadennia mitrata 9.50 Vanda brunea 11.50 Vandadopsis gigantea 11.50 Vandaopsis parishii 11.50 Vanilla aphylla 9.50 I received all except the Vanda brunea for a total of $56.50. After soaking all of them for about an hour in water, a little sugar, a couple of sprays of Physan into the solution, and superthrive, I potted them all and they look pretty good. This is my first order from David, and I am also pleased. (An aside to Rob: I don't know where David Hunt obtained my email address for sure; however, he was once a partner of George Norris; so, he may have gotten it from George or this forum. Yes, I receive almost 200 spams a day now from Mortgage companies to places to whatever, and the ones that I think are the funniest are the Spam Emails that supposed Stop Spam -- a little ironic). In as far as CITES go, Ray, I think you still have to be concerned if you are reselling Paphs or anything in Appendix 1. Just attended Harold Koopowitz's lecture of Imports, etc., and he insists that one take special care to not import any that are listed in there as fines run $25,000. Since David is the importer in this case, it seems to take months as he does go for all the paperwork in which case if you buy anything that you even think might be in Appendix 1 then be sure to ask him for a copy of the permits. .. . .

I suppose the CITES docs can be a concern for someone in my shoes, as there have been reports of needing to have them for the authorities when you resell. Not that the domestic sale is the issue, just verification of legal importation, although at this point, I think that's only applied to Chinese- and especially Vietnamese paphs. -- Ray Barkalow First Rays Orchids http://www.firstrays.com Secure Online Ordering & Lots of Free Info!

(assuming you are in the US) I always imagine that importing plants was a hassle and complicated. Sounds like your order was as easy as from within the US. It isn't always but can often/usually be at least a hassle, though not particularly complicated. But in this case, David Hunt is doing the importing, so for the end customer it's not just "as easy as", but is in fact, an order from within the US. Michael |
