Nono, no offense at all. I LOVE all this.

Indeed but know the consequence that they are NOT Amorphophallus titanum "of
wild lore" anymore!! So we are NOT conserving biodiversity this way. It's
all o.k. as long as people accept the consequences and do not fool around
SUGGESTING they are doing Nature a favour. They are doing Mankind a favour!
Which is o.k. with me. And as much as Mankind may be seen as part of Nature,
we may not extend evolutionary theory to what happens in cultivation. So the
question is if what WE do with our hands may be named, identified with
terminology akin to objects of nature (like species).

You just go ahead, but don't be surprised when they turn against you one
