| Some vey valid points made there, and i agree that as long as there are people who will pay for illegal plants, people will pick them.
So in a way, maybe it would be better to have institutions that collect a few wild plants and then let them be mass propagated by growers and sold that way. If the rare plants can be made available legally then maybe less people would buy wild ones.
I said no believing most orchids are already available legally, so there is no excuse to pick wild ones. |
