Thats why they are CITES Appendix I, you can only get CB, legally anyway. They are that classification to prevent any more opulation damage. That said I doubt the populations will fully recover from the last few decades....

Yeah Tom, that's what I was implying. Hyacinths are expensive but they have dropped in price over the last couple of years but nowhere near what that guy was scamming, I mean selling, in the ad I posted. And he said that they were hand reared.....
