That does bring up a question I have about something Peter C. responded to. Someone asked if Peru wanted to test all kovachii that will soon be on the market, to see if they came from the 'legal' plants or illegal ones. Peter replied "No!" emphatically. If I am correct from Peter's statements (from trying to read between the lines) the seedlings in flask being legally sold now from Peru could not have come from the plants they were allowed to legally collect, so testing would show that the seedlings were not from the legal parents? That would be kind of humorous. I see the question that nobody has asked yet then, 'where did these seedlings come from', if Manolo didn't make them from his legally collected parent plants? Curious, but not overly so....., and if I've misconstrued anything here from other people's previous posts please forgive me in advance..., the posts were coming in pretty quickly and it was hard to keep all of it straight at times. spring is here! charles also off to the GNYOS show tomorrow to lighten my pockets, if Eric M. (or Jeff Stuart) hasn't bought everything already!
