Alstroemeria anticancha

Pretty one, I hope it does well Jane.

Mine aren't doing too well, in fact I bought 2 bunches from the supermarket at £2.25 per bunch this morning.

Hi Shirley, the flowers are even being eaten I've not known that on my other ones, maybe its the inticanchas that are more susceptible although they do go for the foliage on the others early on, that's a nice idea to buy some though :-)

I was buying them regularly then thought why don't I grow my own, sent off for three different varieties from Hayloft Plants last year and have had so few blooms, quite disappointing really. Good luck with yours.

Thanks Shirley, I've managed to over winter a couple over the lasted few years in pots they would get nibbled but never as bad as this one but lost them after about 3 years, I think Indian Summer and summer Breeze have been the best for me so far.

That's interesting as I'm wondering whether I should pot them up and overwinter them in my unheated greenhouse. Today I can only see 2 of the 3 plants ... :o((

Ahh shame, think I am going to dig this up and overwinter in my new little coldframe 😀

I'm really liking this colour, Jane. I've never grown them, but, I've some patients who do.

Thanks Kate it was pot luck with the colour but it's nice, seen at the garden centre for 16.00 glad I didn't pay that for food for the slugs 😀 they love it too
