Last weekend I went to Canada to visit JP Faust. It was quite an adventure!

hmmmm, yes nice flowers. I guess the customs agent has them on her desk right now. where is the closest rescue center? who knows maybe those plants will end up there and you can buy them from them!
 
That's terrible Eric.

Would it have been possible to ship the plants to the States? Or would the post offices in both countries inspect the package???
 
Why not get all the required paperwork? Doesn't seem worth the risk to try and smuggle the plants in. How did they find them.

That sucks about your loss of plants. I winced when I read about it. Great photos though - looks like it was a great trip! I gotta order from JP sometime.
 
Yeah, I tried to sneak them in because w/out the certs no agriculture is allowed. Getting the certs takes time and money. I spoke to JP after and maybe if he goes to a show w/ plants, and there's an inspector there, I could get the cert and have them shipped to USA. Actually, I would do it again, just smarter. When The lady pulled the plants out I told her "Well, I had to at least try." :D It was a great trip and experience to meet JP & Claude.
