I'm not Karensusan but i can tell you it's definately an alstroemeria, what a rich colour too :-))

thanks Louise1 I thought it was, been waiting for it to open so Karen can see it too.

I'm just looking again at its leaves .... they're a lot thinner and narrower than the types i have, which are several times wider than that and they're shiny and appear to twwist ever so slightly.
I'm no expert on them, just a fan, so perhaps yours are a slightly different species to the ones i have here.

Oh yes, they do have thin leaves don't they.....interesting.......very sunny flowers!

A lovely Alstro.....

gorgeous...love alstros

They are pretty I like them too might have to have a look at some others now I know what they are!

I believe they can be invasive, but you have plenty of room....and of course they make brilliant cut flowers too! Sarah Raven has some really nice ones on her website. I got a purple one from her and it's very pretty.

Will have a look at that site Karen

Must say though, I like this one, nice duck yolk yellow!

Lovely Alstro....another to add to my never ending list.....love the colour...

I have been on a website to try and find some more today, but they are all wishy washy colours and I like strong colours, suppose I was very lucky to be given this one, it is such a vibrant colour.

You might like my purple one, anything but wishywashy!

put me a picture on please Karen

Took one today, maybe get it on tomorrow for you! Camera battery ran out just at the critical moment!

Thanks Karen we got some rain yesterday, cloudy today so it will do some good.
