From: "Clark Weston" <bk161 at rgfn.epcc.edu> on 1999.03.24 at 21:18:00(3138) I found the remarks about Blue Amaryllis interesting. Worsleya rayneri. I am going to have to research that one-where it will grow, temperature and humidity needs, etc. +More BTW I live in El Paso, Texas just south of the ORGAN Mountains in New Mexico and right on the RIO GRANDE. I have found out the same place names are used in Brazil, but I suspect the climate is a little different. ---------- > > >dear friends, > > > >i'll be in sao paulo and rio de janeiro in may. i would like to know places > >of botanical interest, nurseries, events to attend in the region. i intend > to > >visit the botanical garden in rio and possibly the burle-marx sitio. any > >other places/tips? thanks. > > > >tsuh yang chen, nyc > > Not aroid, but you should make a trip to the Organ mountains (near > Rio) and see the only location for the incredible amaryllid Worsleya > Rayneri which grows in nearly bare rock.
