>From correspondence and inquiries received, I know that false rumors about me have been originated and spread by a few individuals.
Please know that: 1 I have NO secret pact with anyone, Peruvian or other Nationality, to sell Phragmipedium kovachii in order to profit financially from this species which in my opinion has suffered enough already at the hands of idiots and greedy people. 2. I will NOT have Phragmipedium kovachii flasks, or divisions, for sale in the next few weeks. What I have said, and continue to say, in my presentations to orchid societies is the following: A. When INRENA decides that legal flasks of Phragmipedium kovachii may be exported from Peru with the proper CITES and Phyto Sanitary documents, I will have such flasks for sale in Canada. B. Flasks of Phragmipedium kovachii that I may offer for sale at some point in time, will be legal, and each flask will be delivered with a printed copy of the original CITES documents, it's authenticity verified, by myself, with INRENA. C. I expect a very limited number and will sell such flasks, at costs, to people who I know are capable of propagating them from seedlings to flowering plants. Peter
