I jumped the gun and went straight to one of your forums to post. So I'm a little late with this. Nice to meet you all. I admit I'm a little weird with plant techniques and stuff that makes the experts scratch their heads because I'm willing to try new things. All in all it works out fine most of the time. I would love a Worsleya plant because I think that I could get it to grow at least twice as fast as everyone else. Well hello!

Welcome, Twizzle. It sounds like you may have some good ideas for all of us. Now I need to go look up worsleya.

Thanks for the kind welcome. Tina-Worsleya is a member of the Amaryllidaceae family. It is often blue/purplish. It is very rare and very expensive. They say it is slow growing and hard to work with. Personally I think it is the substrate people use but, I cannot say more because I'll probably never own one. :-) I think it would be like other similar species where people over think substrate instead of doing the basics like ph/minerals used. Basically use a richer soil with less of a hand in watering instead of trying to create rock/clay soils for the plants.

All seriousness aside...I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to swizzlestick for hi-jacking his welcome topic. We tend to get a little out of control on some occasions (like most days that end with "day"...like MonDAY, TuesDAY....you get it....)

Hi all. Seems you all had fun. Time to start over? My elder neighbor has been ill so I have been looking out for her the last couple days. She had a collapsed lung a few days ago and just made it back in and looks to be recovering very well.

Twizzle sticks were pixy stix that were twice as big as the standard pixy. If you have some pics of some twizzle sticks I would be most appreciative. Please no pics of a pixy stix because the twizzle sticks is what I'm after. I would like an avatar pic of twizzle sticks as pixy stix just don't get it. I know of rock candy called swizzle sticks but, swizzle sticks are not twizzle sticks. Haven't seen a twizzle stick for years.
