A permit? Really? I didn't know they did that sort of thing. That's good to hear though, maybe it will cut back/stop field collection. I mean, it can't really be stopped, peole are always going to do it and there are always going to be unscrupulous collectors that don't care where a plant camre from so long as they now have it in their collection. *sigh* I like to think that the people on this forum are a bit above that sort of thing. It's really sad to think about a plant being wiped out from the wild because they were all dug up and sold.
To sell or trade an oreophilla across state lines requires a permit from (I think) F&W. Here is the loophole, you are allowed to give this plant to other people as a gift with out any paperwork of any kind. So consider just asking around a little and you might strike it lucky.
Oh, and while you are not required to have a permit to own one, it is a good idea to keep records of any plants/seeds you might gift to others in the event that the Feds suddenly decide to investigate you
Does ANYONE know a place with a permit that CAN sell or "gift away" S.Oreophila? And Martin,........That picturs makes me cry! I want one now! (stomping feet)
Sale of any oreophylla material requires the permit.
NepG,
I can't guarantee Rice will know either but since he is a high member of the ICPS I figure he'd know. Might consider making a post on the listserv too, someone there might have it or know someone who knows someone...
Sure havron! But even if Richard did want to "share the wealth" you and me would have to obtain import permits and pay high overseas charges AND risk the palnt being damaged by stupid cargo area workers!
If I lived in the states, I would be more than willing to give you all a piece. I suppose I am quite fortunate that it isn't hard to get hold of here. Its available at most CP nurseries (expensively!) and there are always plenty for sale / swop or even free at Cps meetings.
