This is a lovely one , I've taken the seed pods off mine this week to stop it seeding everywhere leaving the lovely foliage to admire , I didn't know that about the Alstromeria thanks for that Info .. :o)

Very nice close up! This plant is a weed here in San Diego...it even grows out of the asphalt along the freeways. It becomes a pretty big tree in about 3 or 4 years.
