How do you prove they're artificially propagated?
If the seller fails to show flower pictures and tries to sell previously bloomed plant for a premium wherever the plant comes from, it is instantly suspicious and only dumb people will fall for it.
I would buy it soon, but I'm out of US. By the way, most of USA wendors are suffering with this silly problem: no sell out of US. However these plants are arteficially propagated. US lows need to modify, I think. I never understood why these arteficially propagated plants are prohibited for exports.

US law does not prohibit the export of the plants. The sellers just dont want to get the required permits and that is because the buyers dont want to pay the cost. It's not US law it is a CITES requirement (international law).

There is really no such thing as international law. It is a multilateral Treaty. A country has to agree and choose to adopt parts or all of the treaty. Each country has their own interpretation as well. The US obviously adopted CITES and has a very strict interpretation. If the US wanted to it could totally ignore CITES. The only law in the US is US law.
High cost for permission is the same as laws. I think there is nonsense to pay for cites in case of flasks.
contact Ono Achima.BUT: I can't get to a stonei album , because all of available flasks are sold by US vendors, exept one, but his min. value of order is more than 1.000 USD.
Since having an open discussion is no longer politically correct please delete my posts.
That's a very difficult expensive task for a grower to be required to do. Photograph every plant that did not sell in bloom and maintain a library of photos of each plant. That would be very expensive for a grower such as OZ. The reality is it would probably cost $20 per plant in employee time for the photos. In the past a growers reputation made it not necessary to see photos.
Just look at the hassle selling a low quality plant for 99 cents has already caused. You might blame me for saying it but I bet plenty of people seeing the ad are thinking it.
No one is deleting anything; you should know me better than that by now. This has become an interesting discussion and may be moved, however, because I've been asked to close this vendor forum by the vendor. While a valuable discussion, I'm not sure this was exactly the right place for it.
The vendor forums are for vendors to sell their plants and advertise their offerings.
Well, I don't think it is very difficult at all.
Plus, I'm talking about quality plants that are sold for good money.
Without providing a flower photo when selling previously bloomed plants, it is just not right.
If you look around, actually all the well-known vendors show pictures when selling something that cost hundreds to thousands of dollars.
I mean who wants to drop that much money without seeing the quality?
No one.
When you charge so much money, you have to do some work and keeping photos in file ( now we have computers that help) is so easy breezy.
The "hassel" here has nothing to do with selling. Don't you see there are at least two people who are ready to buy the plant? NYC and Germany? oke:
