Helliborin are protected in many areas of US as well. It is a very rare plant in most places, so I don't understand the "invasive weed" label. It can be a very beautiful plant.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)
