[OGD] RE: Stripping the Woods
There's a person on eBay called Chase's Plants Prints from McKee, Kentucky that is apparently stripping the woods around them of Cypripedium acaule. They are offering them them in lots of up to 300 plants with fifteen lots available. That's 4,500 plants! They also appear to be stripping these woods of live moss also. This area is in southeastern KY about 100 miles from where I live. I think that this should almost be a criminal action as probably 90+% of them will die within the first year. Is there anything that can be done about such a thing? Their username says it all: kyatvrider (Kentucky All Terrain Vehicle Rider). This was on their eBay Store info: We sell moss for groundcover, pink lady slippers, southeastern gardens, ferns, blueberries, and dog woods as well as beautiful Animal Art Prints, My son whom is 6 helps me gather our plants and pick out the prints we sell. An example of their auctions are: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemcategory=42218item=2383101441 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemrd=1item=4315102425 David Sizemore Kingsport, TN (Zone 6a) -- Thanks for the tip! I've been looking for them everywhere. I heard Lowe's in some states carries them, but I can't get them here. The eBAy vendor's prices are great! Anyone who's been wanting these should check them out. Thanks for the info! Chris ___ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids

I applaud those of you who are working to bring this possible abuse to the attention of the appropriate authorities. If everything is legal and above board, there should be little harm in scrutiny. For those of you with an interest or need to know who is behind Chase's Plants and Prints, you might try the following: 1. Go to their eBay store front at http://stores.ebay.com/Chases-Plants-and-Prints_W0QQsspagenameZl2QQtZkm 2. Click on the About the Seller link. 3. Make note of the webpage they list at the bottom of their summary. 4. Go to one of the internet registry sites, such as http://www.register.com and do a whois look up of this url. Turns out this website is newly registered and to someone other than Chase.

Whoever did the webpage botched it bigtime. My IE browser says it has multiple errors and many of the links are wrong and pics don't load. They don't even show an address, phone number or other contact info. Typical. Perhaps I need to pass this info along too to the guys in KY.
