Thomas, your post is spreading false rumors
concerning legal
Phragmipedium kovachii flasks available this year.
If they are going to be exported, that fact
has not yet been announced
by INRENA, the
Peruvian Ministry of Natural Resources and Peru's CITES
Authority .
INRENA has indicated that no flasks or
divisions will be exported,
until Peruvian nurseries are registered
by the Cites Secretariat and
New Commercial Regulations are
approved.
At this moment, there are only two registered nurseries
in Peru;
the owner of Registered Nursery 001 is Alfredo Manrique,
and I am in weekly contact with him.
There is NO CONFIRMATION YET from INRENA
that legal Phragmipedium
flasks will be exported from Peru in 2005;
consequently there CAN BE NO
CONFIRMATION from INRENA that legal flasks
will be available in Spain
All flask, seedlings, divisions or
plants of Phragmipedium kovachii at
present outside Peru
are ILLEGAL.
The whole world is waiting for INRENA to allow
export of legal Phragmipedium
kovachii, divisions and flasks; particularly the
people who have illegal plants
and flasks at this
moment.
As soon as INRENA
does allow export, we will all know it within hours.
