Worsleya, paramongaia, etc...

makes you wonder why, then, it is so rare and expensive?

Hmmm...

The person who gave it to me told me that someone he knew started a nursery on the profits of selling a few. Last time I talked to him about it he was chiding me because mine wasn't off-setting fast enough for his liking.

Rob,

I think I've heard that story about the profits as well.  Still no idea whether it is becoming mythical or not.    I too grow a small Worsleya.  Not growing quickly for me at all, in fact still very nervous about it.  Lyn, here in Canberra, grows and flowers hers easily as you would likely have seen on the ABA list.  It really is beautiful in person, but I am thinking mine is going to take a LOT of years to amount to anything.

Thanks for showing us, and.... CONGRATULATIONS.
