Jim -
while I'll be the first to admit that gov't agencies are, as a rule,
clueless, as a native of Florida, I do kinda like the fact that there are
rules about shipping live plants around. Having suffered through kudzu and
water hyacinth, a non-native plant can get pretty ugly. 'Course, the fact
that chile plants couldn't cause this type of problem is an irritant, but
what'cha gonna do?
