What he did would most likely be considered legal actually. A friend of an Orchid friend(over 30 years of experience) went to Africa, and after encountering loggers about to cut down a huge tract of forest, asked if she could collect any Orchids in the forest. She found more than 10 beautiful species and took many of each type. Now she has them growing mounted on pieces of wood and some in pots in her greenhouse and they flower every year-apparentely she managed to save so many that a whole wall in her greenhouse is coevered in pieces of wood with these Orchids attached to it. So Id say good on you! But please, please dont take any plants from woodland that is not going to be cut down. That would really be illegal plus its not very moral.
This might be kind of late but...
Before you go getting up on your self rightous horse complaining about other people's behavior, Dino, I suggest you take a look at your own, How is your annoying friend "Frodo" going?.
Since we are on the topic, there is absolutly no way possible that you could of collected a Nepenthes rajah from anywere that was going to be logged seeing that both mountains that Rajah inhabit are Protected national parks, the species only inhabits the Kinabalu park.
