Discovered? Are you sure that's what you wanted to write?

Last week I read this on the Weyerhauser web site for The Pacific Rim Bonsai Collection, which has been closed since Spring, 2009, and will be reopening this Spring for a temporary exhibit.

"Did You Know?
U.S. soldiers discovered bonsai in Japan during World War II."

I hope that I don't need to explain to anyone now reading this what is wrong with that statement.

I do like these two unusual bonsai that are part of the Weyerhauser collection, though.
