More New Plants - Alstroemeria

Last week I acquired a pot of Alstromerias...variety unknown from the plant stand at Llewelly's which is part of the Wells Almshouses.  My friend Jane runs the plant stall and proceeds are ploughed back into the garden. 

I had a wonderful clump in my last garden, donated from a friend, from which I used to pick blooms throughout the season.  I had tried to move it, and having not the knowledge then that they went so deep, managed to destroy it...but of course, they may well have resprouted since leaving.

Here is a sample which I had picked for one of my vases back in 2014.

I get a update each time Roger Brook the no dig gardener posts, and how timely that he has just posted about growing them.  I've also found a link to Viv Marsh who holds the National Collection and from whom you can order plants.

If you have a favourite Alstromeria, it will be interesting to read your comments.
