Heather who said:

US or not?
Whoever purchased Pk flasks from Manola Arias can
sell the seedlings
right away, to anyone in his or her
country.
Forget that you signed a ridiculous "2 years no selling" document with
INRENA. You did it to just get them out of Peru. It is not a legal
document INRENA can use against you.
One note of caution: If you deflask Manola Arias's
Pk flasked seedlings,
they are now Pk plants, and
thus subject to App I CITES rules,
i.e. you
will need CITES export and import permits to
have them cross
international borders. Now that INRENA has allowed Pk flasks to leave
Peru, the gates are down
for all Pk flasks propagated from seeds of illegal,
smuggled, Phragmipedium
kovachii plants,
known to exist all over the world..
Just watch the
$550.- per flask price drop very quickly to
normal..
