I just saw a picture and fell in love. Hard. :smitten:
I don't even know if they are available in the U.S. yet. Have any insight, anyone?

I read in Orchids magazine that vietnamense is now legal in the US, but keep a paper trail...kentuckiense said:I just saw a picture and fell in love. Hard. :smitten:

Exactly, so shouldn't vietnamense x malipoense be legal, too? I was under the impression that hybrids are always legal, but apparently I was mistaken.SlipperFan said:I read in Orchids magazine that vietnamense is now legal in the US, but keep a paper trail...
The plants were placed in a rescue center which allowed us to work with them, but they as required by law stayed at the rescue center. Only capsules and pollen were removed.so they were sent to Antec
Anyway, there have been blooming size vietnamense in the US for long enough that there should be several hybrids legally available
No, the only hybrid that we released were Ho Chi Minhs. We produced many more hybrids, but have only sold a few flasks of one or two of these crosses early on. The rest are here growing, and because of the hassles and headaches the rest of this whole issue have caused us, I dread selling them. I guess if I sell them directly, and not as flasks or compots as with the vietnamense or Ho Chi Minh, it will be less of a hassle later on with filling out court affidavits.So, MOST hybrids are legal
Doesn't seem to be the case based on the emails and phone calls we are receiving, as stated above.Practically speaking, though, nobody will probably care about vietnamense parentage in a hybrid anymore, since they are so common in the US.

This is not true, there has been barely sufficient time for the fastest growers of our releases to reach flowering size, much less to have produced offspring.

That'd be great. Maybe they learned from the vietnamense debacle?Eric Muehlbauer said:I have heard that Vietnam did OK the exportation of at least one flask of hangianums recently....any info on this?
