Worsleya rayneri/procera is endangered and hard to come by. Growers who do possess it are still learning about it's cultural requirements and the best way to reproduce them so they're more widely available.

Good news is, through the exchange of pollen and seed from growers in South Africa, Australia and New Zealand, there seems to be more people involved in growing this stunning "Blue Amaryllis".

If you join the Yahoo group, you'll get into discussions about potential seed sales, auctions, or opportunities to get ahold of live plants, but at a hefty price!!

To learn more about this fascinating plant, check out the Worsleya group on Yahoo:

Best of luck!

Hi, thank you for your message. I thought I would have better luck finding it by posting it here as I have been a member of the group you mentionned for the past couple of years (3-4) but never was lucky enough to find an auction or sale post before everybody else !

I'm glad Dan has been able to share Worsleya seeds, esp with K. As posted before, my seeds came from NSW Aust. Germinated in perlite. 1 seed didn't germinate, one rotted, one yanked a couple times by a bird then died. 1 survived. That plant has been grown over the years in 1/3 peat moss & 2/3 washed granite gravel. It has divided into 6 plants and is doing well outside in Houston TX. But... has not achieved adequate size to bloom in 10 years. I have increased fertilizer a bit more this year and growth is better. Pat

Hey! I dunno if you trade at all but I have some of this bulb due in this spring and some are slated for trades to collectors and gardens - mainly gardens and stuff. I hafta sell around 10 of them to get the import fees and shipping paid, but some I'm definitely trading out. LMK and maybe we can do a trade! I have a WANTS list on my GW page and also you can see there a a couple worsleyas on my trade list.

Sincerely,
Ellie
