Peter....while App. I orchids imported in flask are OK by CITES standards, different countries can apply their own interpretation. So what may be freely and legally available in Canada is still barred in the US by the USFW interpretation of CITES, banning any possible "fruit of the poisoned tree"..Take care, Eric Muehlbauer in very mild Queens NY...not much in bloom or spike except for Phrag pearcei and a few hybrids....
