Alstroemeria Hookeri

This seedling is flowering in a greenhouse where temps are approaching 30 C during the day. From Bayer's 1987 monograph, Die Gattung Alstroemeria in Chile, it appears to be A. Hookeri ssp. Hookeri.

Years ago I tried cloning (dividing the rhizome) this species with no success, but, not having failed 3 times as yet, I'll give it another go this fall.
