Fred, would you mind posting a picture of the entire plant in the pot? I would love to see how big it is!?
So beautiful, the freckles of blue are astonishing.
Very closely related to the genus Griffinia which also has such beautiful blue coloring which is quite rare in Amaryllids! Do you grow your plant in sphagnum moss or a very aerated mix? Sadly my Worsleya was plummeted by harsh hail which left it level with the rest of the pot.

The pot looks quite small Fred, - do you feed it much?

at least once a week with very small amount of fertilizer.
But the pot is not so small... 30 cm high

Fred,
Absolutely stunning! It's nice to see a picture of the full plant, it gives you more perspective!
By the way, I don't think these plants need incredibly large pots, they grow in pockets of matter on the side of 70 degree granite slopes.
Thanks!
