Hi all,

I think one should add that Chen Yi does not sell nursery-propagated plan=ts but only plants that are removed from the wild in China; some species =(such as chinese Cypripediums) are well endangered due to removal from th=e wild.
I dno't order from her and I think everyone should spend a thought if it =is good to support such a business, especially as - conderning Arisaemas =- most plants are not so special, no matter what the photos say.

Best regards from Munich,.
