I get a little confused about all the references to supposedly lax inspection at Miami airport. Does no-one realize that Miami is by far the busiest port for plant imports in the country and just maybe their experience allows them to tell whether there is a quarantine issue or not rather more quickly than some of the minor entry points? We import millions of plants a year through Miami and have found the service to be firm yet fair. After all, we have a much larger stake in being sure some new disease or pest is not entering the country undetected than some small backyard importer!
As to the reference to the varietal name 'Lyoth', it was used by the late great orchid firm of Charlesworths. Although McBeans nominally took over the Charlesworth line, their present Odonts are a far cry from the former product. Adios George Norris. Not someone who will be missed in the orchid world of the honest traders! Andy Easton
