HI Pat, To be honest, I find that they grow the fewest leaves during the heat of summer. They really like the cooler weather and produce a lot of leaves in the spring and fall. Having said that, they really put on some bulk during the summer when they are soaking up the suns rays, but they grow very few leaves. I know that one of the growers in FLA that has them in Mexico says that they do not like the heat/humiidty of FLA which makes sense based on them coming from the mountains outside of Rio. I hope that the seedlings I kept from my previous seeds put on some nice growth again this summer. Hopefully yours will get some cooler weather and take off for you :o) Dan

Yes, they are too expensiuve for me, and I do not have the correct conditions anyway so that is the main reason for not getting one I guess. What concerns me the most about the posting is the notion that they are dormant most of the year....I thought for sure I had read that they are evergreen and simply do not go dormant....lack of leaves is what we commonly call a dead plant in this case.....am I mistaken or is this likely not a Worsleya at all given that he does not have a pic of his own to show...surely a pic of the plant in leaf would be easy enough to provide. As I said, this is simply a curiosity thing....I have absolutely no intention whatsoever in trying to buy this plant.....something this unique I would not buy off someone that I do not know....I would pony up the big bucks for one with clear provenance that could be completely trusted :o) Dan

Hi Fred, I have 2 of my large Worsleya with bloom spikes right now in the basement. With any luck I will have flowers in a week or two and if I'm really lucky I will have seed pods and even seed in about 4-5 months. Assuming all that happens I will have seed for sale at that time. I also sometimes sell small 2 year old seedling plants, but I sold maybe 40 last summer so do not know if I will cull the herd again this summer. If I have anything I will let people know on here as I did last summer. I will likely take pics of my flowering plants and post them somewhere on here if I get the motivation for stacking pics. I must say, this is one of the few plants that even though I have seen them bloom many times now I still look forward to seeing them in bloom - and they are one of the few plants my wife actually likes that I grow :o) Dan

I sold seed recently from my plants and also sold 2 year old seedlings, but do not have any of either that I am selling these days. The prices on ebay are just silly, but hey, charge what the market will bear as they say and obviously they can get that amount for their plants so good for them. Good luck :o) Dan
