Thought of you when I saw this Loiuse know you have lots of alstroemerias :-)
Not something I've ever grown, this is a lovely colour, don't very often see them for sale do you? where do you get yours from Louise?

Simbad, sometimes they're for sale in the garden centres, often at the 'flower shows' e.g. Malvern Spring Show in May :-))))) and there's the Viv Marsh website.
He sells many, many different types. They've just gone up in price but the value for money is 'huge' and .... not forgetting they're perennial !
Mine are shooting up all over the garden :-)))))
They increase well too .... a nuisance to some but not to me !!!

Thanks Louise, yes this one seems amazingly vigourous . How could they ever be a nuisance - and they last for ever as a cut flower.

Thanks Louise I'm going to have a look at Viv Marsh website now :-)
