Alstroemeria modesta

The species of this lovely plant from the Andes are not only as beautiful as the garden hybrids, but match their flowers for size. I grow them in a frost free glasshouse and do not know how they would fare outside. A plant in a 1L pot can easily carry twenty 3” flowers. About 15” high.
