Mysterious seeds sent from China to Utah
Fox 13 ^ | 07 22 2020 | Adam Herbets

Over the past few weeks, people in Utah have been reporting mysterious packages they’ve been receiving in the mail from China.

Lori Culley, who lives in Tooele, said she was excited to find two small packages in her mailbox on Tuesday. Although most of the writing on the outside was in Chinese, the label indicated there would be earrings inside.

“I opened them up and they were seeds,” Culley said. “Obviously they’re not jewelry!”

Culley couldn’t understand why she would be receiving mislabeled seeds from China in the mail, but at first she didn’t think much of it.

She posted about the strange incident on Facebook, where some of her friends reminded her plants and seeds are strictly regulated in Utah.

FOX 13 has confirmed the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food will likely team up with Customs and Border Protection agents to investigate.

I’ve always wondered what they did with all those tribbles.

They gave them to the Klingons.

Never saw marijuana seeds before.

Course, never smoked the stuff either.

Pot seeds appear to be lighter, and less densely,’speckled’, like the original pic. Castor beans are darker and more densely marked:

We’re loosing white ash trees all over NE-US “thanks” to the east Asian import Emerald Ash Borer.

Southcentral Pennsylvania is overrun with a nasty pest which some call “triangle razor vine” and others call “mile a minute vine”....another east Asian stowaway.

And then there is the Japanese beetle (one of the few natural enemies of “triangle razor vine”, surprise, surprise)

Does anything good come out of east Asia?

I think, historically, a lot of ‘good’ things have come out of Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong - and even Mainland China, before it went to hell under the communists: Art, cuisine, religious and philosophical works - and some good People who decided that they wanted to be American.

I’ve always wanted to try growing Kudzu in a pot on my balcony...just to see what happens (I don’t think it’s forbidden in my zone.)

Our county has been eradicating Giant Hogwart plant for years. The sap is photoreactive to the sun, and causes severe disfigurement, scaring, and can cause blindness. I saw one in a back yard. You can’t miss it. It looks like a Queen Anne Lace, but the head is 2 feet across. A very dangerous plant.
