OK, not to inflame this thread, but if you did produce seedlings, wouldn't they still be illegal in the states?

Beautiful flower BTW.

IMHO this issue should be overcome by you folks ignoring it. (But that's just me). I've had enough of these people standing around (if they'd be standing....hanging about is more like it) in the way of preseving these plants by propagation.....

Beautiful gigantifolium....

I'm not really into multis, but I'd like to have one. Oh heck the OP are at the door!

 

[W. Beetus]

Such an interesting species! Nice.

 

[Ernie]

Cool! I never realized how dark the backs of the sepals are in this species. The buds look almost black!

 

[Howzat]

I have always been a supporter of exsitu propagation, and selfing this beautiful specimen of gigantifolium gets my vote. YES.

Donate flasks to a rescue center, and keep moving the rest as P. supardii var 'wink wink':wink:

Awesome flowers! Congratulations!

I don't think Iweyshen needs to care about that. He's located in Taiwan, isn't he?

Iwewshen; if you do produce flasks, please add me to your customer list! I'd love some seedlings from that plant!:clap:

BTW: Does anybody know what happened to Sam Tsui's plants that were confiscated? As I understand it, they were imported completely legally with all the correct paperwork that was required at the time; but, at some point later, some bureaucratic nit-wit decided that they should not have been allowed and Sam's plants were taken from him by USFW. Where did these plants go? Did the authorities send them to a rescue centre? Did they destroy them?

Don't tell ... Don't ask --- label them with a name of a "legal species" or a "hybrid".
