Guest guest Posted March 23, 2002 Report Share Posted March 23, 2002 Butch, Chris and List I realised that it was tongue in cheek, but this is an issue that is very close to my heart since I now live in an area that is trying to combat fire ants from this type of thing. Just wanted a serious input in case someone tries to do it seriously - I know Butch wouldn't because it could have serious effect on his business Missy - Chris Ziegler Saturday, March 23, 2002 11:27 PM Re: OT: Shipping Live Plants?

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2002 Report Share Posted March 23, 2002 Hi Missy, Recommend you read the below again .. nobody is suggesting or planning to smuggle anything. There was, however, some tongue-in-cheek joking from Jane, but folks who understand her Aussie humor just grinned and kept on reading. Come to think of it, her humor sorta matches our gud ol' Suth'ran humor .. ;-p Y'all keep smiling, Butch http://www.AV-AT.com ---------------- > Greetings > > As an Australian, I would prefer if you tried to ship them legally. > The Australian Customs are harsh on all plants, animals, etc because > we have managed to keep many diseases that affect plants and animals > out, and I for one wish to keep it that way. > Missy > > - > Butch Owen > > Saturday, March 23, 2002 2:43 AM > OT: Shipping Live Plants? > > Hey Jane, > > > I have all these lovely north-facing hills here that would look > > really great covered in Turkish Rosa damascena plants - reckon we > > could slip some past Australian customs ;-? > > You want a ton or two we'll make it happen .. ;-p Ain't gonna slip'em > past the rascals, gonna slide'em right through their system.
