Alstromeria - 'Friendship'

I have these - lovely, aren't they? Mine didn't flower for years, but I'm happy to say that they started blooming again last year.

Oh that is nice for you Melchi, I hate it when plants do not do what they are supposed to do and produce us flowers. So disappointing. I bought another one last year because I love it so much and dare not dig a root up to move it in case I lost it. lol. I am a scaredy cat. :O)

My three are planted and fed. Quite small, but maybe next year. It is a beautiful one!

Mine are very old - Granny planted them, and she stopped gardening here in the eighties. Amazing how some plants survive. Mind you, they have "walked" a bit, so they're probably not actually the same plants!

I love this golden yellow one, some of the others I am not sure about.

On the instructions for their care it says to pull the stem out a bit like pulling rhubarb but I dare not even do that, I would hate for me to get it wrong. When you like a plant it is difficult to treat it harshly lol bit of a tree hugger me. lol think I have been known to talk to them too lol. oh dear I can hear you all saying lol. but its not all that bad they never answer me back lol. so we never get into an argument. lol :O)

There are many published studies that demonstrate that talking kindly to anything that grows is good for it Mum! I don't care...I tell my trees that I love them all the time. There's nothing wrong with it...it works! :))

lol I think AT talks to his plants too :O) so we are in good company Karen. :O)

Exactly!

I think good vibes have a good effect on almost everything. But then, I'm just a child of my time...!
