Topic: Worsleya procura Worsleya procura is a beautiful plant in the Amaryllidaceae family from Brazil. It has striking, large lavender to bluish flowers. The PBS wiki mentions that it is very exacting in its cultural requirements. It appeared to me that the entries in the PBS wiki about this plant were written in the early 2000s. So, I thought I'd post to the PBS list to enquire about this plant and to ask members to comment on their recent experiences growing it, both positive and negative. I think I would like to attempt to grow this plant at some point in time. I would appreciate hearing your advice and suggestions about cultivation and sourcing seeds or small plants. I assume that this is a very expensive plant. A final note... I read with interest the article by Dr. Paul Resslar who successfully grew plants from seeds in pure pumice at Wesleyan University in Norfolk, Virginia. The article can be accessed from the PBS wiki and dates from about July 2006. I live in Williamsburg, Virginia, the same climate zone as in Norfolk, and I would be able to replicate the methods and growing conditions described by Dr. Resslar if I am ever able to obtain a few seeds. Thank you for your help.
