Kath,
You probably don't grow hybrid Phals. The Taiwan growers seem to have the really good stuff. Their breeding and cloning programs are providing truly leading edge products that don't seem to be available anywhere else. However, I don't buy from Taiwan but from the USA growers that import their plants. This is a bad thing? I am constantly on the prowl (via the WWW) for domestic growers offering stem props of their good stuff. OK, I know that I am highly selective in what I purchase but I WILL get it from those who can sell it to me. If domestic growers provide a superior product, I will buy theirs. If plants from Taiwan become more expensive because Hawaiian growers get some sort of "protection" I will still buy the plants I want - not something inferior from a protected grower. David "K Barrett" wrote in message news:3LSWc.85009$TI1.27882@attbi_s52... I see it as protecting US small business. One of my friends has been involved with the Taiwan side of this article and sees it as efficient markets. If you can't compete then you should fold. Well, I always sided with Old Fezziwig in 'A Christmas Carol' when he said it wasn't for money alone that one builds up a business, but to protect a way of life. Of course you know what happened to Fezziwig. Scrooge and Marley bought him out for pennies on the dollar and put him out of business. K Barrett What will the next generation do with all those Harleys and RVs when we baby boomers are dead and gone? |
