The idea is great. We must cross /Phalaenopsis gigantea/ with /Drosera glabripes./ Treat the protocorms with colchecine and radiate them twice per day at 06:45 an 21:37 (Greenwich +2 [the time is critical!]) with a Siemens X-Ray apparatus. Then we grow them in the jungle near Caracas (Sorry Rob, but they wouldn't like Sydney conditions) under supervision of a shrink who tells the seedlings constantly that CITES people taste good (if no shirink is at hand, I assume it suffices to play Madonna songs). Then we put one of these charming plants in each box of orchids ... I think these plants would be in high demand ... and those stupid CITES freaks would probably not even get it (as usual) and for lack of intelligence put /Drosophallus tyrannosauroides/ on Annex I and claim that the critter is jungle collected. Of course my learned collegue Eric would claim he met with the plants twenty years earlier in the Peruvian Andes and that he could save his own only because he bribed them with two anchovis pizzas he happened to have at hand. My learned collegue Phillip of course would immediately claim that, really, a Kew expedition to the high mountains around Loch Ness had discovered the thing but that for the sake of scientific integrity he had decided ro keep the discovery secret to protect the habitat ;-) and that the description is illegal because His [note the capitalization for Deities] manuscript as /Kewofressus philippomegalomaniacograndus/ was due to be published in a peer review journal but had been delayed because the typesetter had taken a leave of absence because of a mild attack of contagious diarrhea cerebralis after their last meeting.
