Dear Jerry,
and how are you going to proof that the plants were nursery grown in Thailand, Indonesia etc. The person inspecting these plants ate the border ist just as incapable to differentiate between nursery grown plant and wild collected plants as he/she is at a loss to differentiate between species and hybrids.
The only solution that is workable is: Take all plants off CITES., Just as simple as that.

The solutions to trade in orchids are really quite simple:
#1 Ban all trade in wild collected specimens.
#2 Allow all trade in true Art Prop plants regardless of whether they are species or hybrids. No Cites permits should be needed for these

Would the release of hybrids on CITES mean that all those Ho Chi Minh's
being sold on ebay will actually be legal?
Dear Eric,
of course! Hybrids are Hybrids, no matter what parents they have or where those parents come from.
