Xerophyta and other Velloziaceae
I recently bought seed of Xerophyta viscosa to see how well it does for me. Seems I can't help being attracted to the odd and unusual, and this plant certainly fits the bill (a.k.a 'Black Stick Lily')

Any advice from forumists with experience growing this plant would be greatly appreciated.
