"The kingdom's request for the exclusion of all artificially-bred
orchid hybrids from CITES appendices last week sparked a heated debate
among delegates from the European Union (EU) and wildlife protection
groups.
They argued that it was difficult to differentiate artificially
propagated flowers from wild orchids."
