[Aroid-l] 2nd Annual Aroid show? CA Imports

From: agavestar at covad.net (Michael Mahan) on 2007.10.15 at 07:32:38(16498) I agree that in any large volume of plants shipped from Florida all regulations would have to be followed to the letter as there is just too much risk involved in have a large shipment being seized & the destroyed due to some state inspector following the rules a little to closely . Then what happens if the plants don't sell ,ship them back ? That in its self would bring in a whole new set of problems getting the plants back into Florida . And who in their right mind is gonna send a prized plant all the way across the U S A & back agin just for a showcase of plants ? .

CA Imports I suspect that few commercial growers are willing to take the risk to ship into California without the paperwork with all legalities on the dotted line. They have far too much to risk to take this risk. I think Denis has already stated this in his comments about his nursery. Now there may be some commercial growers out there who ship into California on a regular basis but usually not on a large commercial shipment level. It is one thing to send a box to CA and quite something else to send boxes of plants on a commercial level. Also consider the cost of sending such material all the way to CA from the east coast. Would people be willing to pay the extra cost? Who would take that risk and who would put that money up on the front end with little guarantee that there would not be a loss. Denis has done this for years with the Miami show but I do not see him with the added risks of a meeting elsewhere. I am playing the devil's advocate but I do think you need to seriously contemplate the work, the difficulties, and the financial aspects of doing any of this.
