Weirdly, people, all over the world, are receiving bags of unidentified and unsolicited seeds, apparently from China (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/aug/01/mystery-seed-parcels-world-biosecurity-china-uk-us). Hypotheses about the reasons for this action are varied and include its being a scam to generate positive reviews about bogus online 'sales' or its being an attempt at bioterrorism by introducing a damaging invasive organism to other countries. Either way, the recipients are being told not to plant the seeds until it is determined what they are. Having said that, I will be surprised if some bored gardener in some remote location doesn't try them out.
