Forgive my nitpicking but can orchids, grown by humans, really be wild? Even local wild-established plants in their own 'chosen patch' cease to be wild once we cultivate them . . . (don't they?) However, my comment doesn't detract from the wisdom of a properly established 'rescue' activity. Here in UK of course, the source wild plants would also be non-collectable except for an official contingency rescue exercise. John Stanley
