Chen Yi lists --LONG!

[McAlpine, Duncan G]

This is note is not against Greg or anyone else.

Have any of you been to China and seen the corn fields as high as 8000 feet?

In my back yard, is  a strip of forest which is going to be turned into a parking lot.   Yes, I  have have made the choice to dig up all the Trilliums I can find in this little strip.   I  find it a waste to seen these plants buried under  payment.   Have you ever flown over Russia and look out the window when you cross into China?   It is interesting  to see, one side has trees and the other is plowed to ground for agricultural.   China is growing, I would at least like to see low income Chinese resident make a dollar versus seeing the plant die due to population Growth.    Remember my thoughts are based on population growth and not collecting in the wild.

For the nurseries below, some of them are buying from Kaichen.
