I use photobucket to up load photo and now they are fixing so all photos I posted before are missing and hope that it will be fine soon.

Here the photo I post before:

For the record, if someone offered me a wild-collected orchid, I'd probably take it, if for no other reason than I know I would try to save and grow it, and I don't know what fate it would have in other people's hands. No guilt here.

An understandable position. Allthough I haven't goten confronted with this situation personally but I asked myself the question how I would handle the situation you describe.

I really wouldn't know to handle the situation.

In regards to the species mentioned in this topic. I haven't seen them yet in Europe. But I wouldn't be suprised if it would have found it's way to private collection here and there.

You can get anything if you have the sources, especially in VN. They were selling them by the kilo!
