Hi all -

I've been wondering about something to do with the great buys at the
superstores:

Has anyone considered or, better yet, investigated the origin of the plants
they sell? I think that most of us are generally concerned about the
ethics of growing and selling these plants -- and some of us (like me) are
downright fanatical about it. Three dollars seems like a pretty low price,
and I don't have the impression that these stores are going to
painstakingly investigate the ethics of all of their suppliers.

I like a great buy as much as the next guy, but not at the risk of
supporting unscrupulous suppliers. Can anyone shed any light on this?

Thanks,
