Worsley rayneri 1 LIVE BULB_Endangered bulb

The bidding price is for 1 bulb of Worsleya rayneri

I have only 3 bulbs available, thus I'm auctioning them. The bulbs are over 2 years old. I grew them from seed from cloned plants in Brazil.

This is a photo of the actual bulbs:

Rarely seen for sale, this incredible Amaryllis relative is endangered in its homeland of Brazil, where it grows hanging from remote cliffs near waterfalls.

Worsleya procera (also called Hippeastrum procerum or Worsleya rayneri) is an evergreen, bulbous plant that grows 70-100cm tall, but occasionally to 1.4m feet.  It has unusual, arching leaves that resemble a rooster's tail.  Worsleya flowers in the summer, and its stalks can have 8 or more blooms.  The flowers are a breathtaking lilac-blue fading to white in the center.

There are reports that it is difficult to grow in temperatures above 90 degrees F (32°C), especially if nights are warm.  It can tolerate a light frost, but i recommend keeping it above 35 degrees F (2°C).  It may be grown indoors in a sunny spot.

International customers- please note: before you bid contact me, and make sure we can arrange a suitable transport for the bulbs as the regular airmail of South Africa will take too long and I will not accept responsibility of the loss of bulbs being confiscated by your customs.
