$2500 Penalty and Conviction for Illegally Exporting Orchid
Old news now (Sept. 26th), but I just came across this release. I heard that Mr. Tetzlaff was doing the rounds of orchid society meetings with a presentation on his find. Apparently, someone in Alberta decided he was bragging and needed to be taken down a notch, so this person reported him to Environment Canada.
Gad, the orchid world is tough.
It’s a jungle out there.
