Alstroemeria ligtu 'Light Yellow'

Just coming into bloom; 2 ligtus (seed source unknown) and one unnamed accession from UC Berkeley Botanical garden (seed coolected from plants growing at about 2000m in southern Chile).

This light yellow here is almost luminescent with certain lighting in the greenhouse or field.

Alstroemeria ligtu 'Whitish'

A little out of focus. Quite handsome in the greenhouse or protected raised beds. Have had some difficulty (I've killed it 3 times) growing it in wide open fields in the Sacramento Valley, but in any partially shaded area it's a winner.
