	Brooklyn Botanic Garden: Last Refuge
		Although its former wild life remains a mystery, the orchid is widespread in the plant trade, as are its progeny, for like the earth star described above, it has been successfully crossed with related species to produce spectacular cultivars.
		The future of chocolate-scented cosmos and other extinct-in-the-wild species is precarious since they, like most ornamental plants, are derived from just a few collected individuals; and commercial nurseries breed plants not to enhance their genetic diversity but rather to maintain desirable characteristics and for ease of propagation and cultivation.
		This means the prospects for successfully reintroducing these plants back into their wild habitats, where they can procreate and evolve like all healthy living things, are not great.

		Can't say I like amaryllis, I'd definitely have a chocolate cosmos over an amaryllis, the flowers are velvety soft, a lovely deep maroon colour and are fantastically fragrant and they also repeatedly bloom for ages.
