I always understood that even paphs species from Vietnam in flasks could not be legallised as the "paper trail" could not be completed as Vietnam had not signed the CITES Treaty. I know Antec have access to seed from rescued plants but even seed and pollen and/or any part of a paph still needs to be covered by CITES if being exported.(even 'tho flasks need no CITES docs.) Did I not hear once of a situation that certain speceies were OK in flask but once out became illegal. As a Paph grower I would love to be able to raise all the species in question and return "thousands" back to source, for free!! ( Even "tho the habitat is being cleared for the "benefit" of the human race!!)
