Plant Poaching Business

We have an image of a plant poached from our farm in Africa, displayed by a
Dutch nurseryman who visited the area and wrote about it. He had the nerve
to actually name the farm from which he poached the succulent in its
description. I wrote to him about it. He promptly took the post down. I
have it all archived.

Hello All,

This is about succulents but that’s more a sample of what’s going on. In
San Diego you occasionally hear about a plant smuggling shipment
confiscated.

Here though the native Dudleya are being wiped out by
Poaching/Smugglers...don’t see many when I hike in the foothills like I
used too.

Thought Provoking at the least,
