Worsleya procura

Hi , I had some experience growing Worsleya procura  in Central Scotland .
In 1982 , or thereabouts , Thompson and Morgan had a dramatic photo ( Mount Roraima, I think ) some intriguing  “ lost world “ story and a listing for “ Blue Amaryllis “ seeds  in their catalogue . 
They were very expensive £5. 99 or so for 3 seeds .
I bought them , sowed them in some John Innes  seed compost with extra grit and they germinated . One didn’t last a year , the other two were fine .
They were potted on into John Innes no1 with added grit and crushed charcoal.
The second winter killed another one however so I was left with one .
In year 4 I moved house and the plant moved into my father in law’s greenhouse.
The bulb was about 11/2 “ in diameter with a “ neck of about 8” and 2 foot long sickle shaped leaves .
I thought it would flower the following year .
I never saw flowers , the plant was stolen from the greenhouse .
I’ve looked since but never heard of it again till I saw it in “ Himalayan Gardens “ site at over £200 a bulb . It’s grown on for them in India apparently .
I’ve never seen seeds offered again .
So , I used John Innes I.E. loam based compost with a bit more drainage and apart from some night when the forecast was -2 c or lower it was in a cold greenhouse with only a small frost protective parrafin heater. The kind you used to put under a cars sump .
I think they may be tougher than you expect .
