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. Turn them in to the governing body .. whoever they may be .. for investigation. Could it be they salvaged the original plants and raised more from them? Probably not, but it's a possibility. How many could there be left in the wild if they're "salvaging" enough to be advertising them all the time? Could it be a bait and switch deal? Any number of possible scenarios, but if you're suspicious, find out who would be the ones to do the investigation. Write to the company and ask how many they had available to sell. If it's a lot, well send that along to the governing body to |
