Manola Arias was selling Phragmipedium flasks, at
the WOC in Dijon France,
that did not measure up in size and quality to
pictures of flasked seedlings, advertised
in his Peru-Flora Brochure for US$ 550.- per 25 to 30
seedlings.
Manola made his
Dijon customers, who purchased Pk flasks, sign the same two
year
agreement you speak
of.
I believed at the time that this was just
something Manola dreamed up to extend
his monopoly on the
expensive Phragmipedium kovachii flask
sales.
Jerry Lee Fischer, who went to Peru to purchase Pk
flasks, in an earlier
post on this forum, stated: "We had to sign an agreement with
INRENA that
the seedlings would not be sold for 2 years,"
If what Jerry stated is true, and if it was indeed
INRENA who made him sign that document,
then INRENA is dead wrong!!!!! This is against
CITES rules!!!! INRENA should be severely
reprimanded by CITES.
It is a corrupt action by INRENA
to extend the expensive flasks sales monopoly of
Manola Arias, who is simply selling them for his
US fugitive father, the infamous
Manuel Arias Silva , who escaped from the USA
just before he was sentenced to 21 month
in jail for smuggling Appendix I orchid species into the USA.
This Manuel Arias Silva was bombarded by the very
same INRENA to be their protector
and propagator of
Phragmipedium kovachii. Permit 002!!! How ironic!!!
Just when you thought there was no corruption
in INRENA, and the Phragmipedium
kovachii saga.
Invite me to your orchid society and I will give
you a digitally projected presentation on
The Phragmipdium kovachii saga. I have made this presentation
to orchid societies all
over the USA and Canada and can provide
your society with references.
