Hello -
I noticed on Kelvin's listing of national/city/etc.
official flowers that C. trianae is mentioned as an
Appendix I plant. I believe that I may have a few
other plants on this list, as well. I did not import
them, or collect them, or smuggle them into the
country in my panties. In fact, re: the trianae, our
orchid society had a workshop wherein we divided a
hugely overgrown C. trianae, and each carried home a
division.
Are we now a gang of criminals? What is the legal
status of possessing a listed plant? I'm sure I cannot
prove where or how I acquired most of my plants.
Without re-opening the whole CITES debate, could
someone familiar with this in theory and fact explain
how possessing an Appendix I plant would affect a
hobbyist? 
Thanks so much - Nancy
