Virginia and Utah officials have advised residents not to plant unidentified, unsolicited seeds that residents have reported receiving in packets with Chinese text on them.

The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) announced Friday that it “has been notified that several Virginia residents have received unsolicited packages containing seeds that appear to have originated from China.”

VDACS said neither the number of people who have received the seeds nor the species of plant can yet be confirmed.

“The types of seeds in the packages are unknown at this time and may be invasive plant species. The packages were sent by mail and may have Chinese writing on them,” the VDACS statement continued.

A Fox affiliate in Salt Lake City also reported this week that Utah residents have also been receiving unsolicited seed packages with Chinese writing over the past two weeks....(snip)

Chinese trying to introduce an invasive species?  Maybe we should send them fire ant eggs. Only fair.

Do NOT taunt, or plant in soil.

No need. They'll be as widespread there as they are here in 10 years.

Well then maybe we should send them some Kardashian eggs instead.

I was going to say send them kudzu, but it looks like they already have it.

They already sent us murder hornets.  This must be the food.  Idiocracy will plant because "mah freedoms".  Profit.

Way to go, Arkansas. You've killed us all.

So why not put China on its heels and send them some mystery plants right back?  Every American household sends a mystery package to a random Chinese address.

[woohorn 1131]

Based on their adulteration of our nation's soft drinks, I'd guess the seeds turn out to be peas.

Yeah regional, some call them sand spurs where we hang in the Outer banks. They really suck.

[HornOnTheBayou 8922]

I really don't understand the mindset of someone who would plant random seeds that they get in the mail from China. It's a lot of damn work to plant the seeds and to keep watering them. Who's going to do all that when you don't even know what you're growing?

Maybe dump a bunch of mesquite trees in their crop growing areas.

Louisiana also reporting that some residents have also planted those seeds. two dumbest states in the union

First Russia, now China, has realized that the best weapon against America is simply harnessing the unrivaled stupidity of its own population.
