Alstroemeria huemulina

Two species, in bloom their first year from seed...which doesn't always happen. Probably no seed set this year. Missed an opportunity to get A. kingii in bloom; pity, too, because it's a good, delicate yellow.

In the past I have had no luck maintaining species in the greenhouse...however, now I maintain them in post-bloom, summer-dry beds.
