I once grew a batch of the ‘ordinary’ orange alstroemerias from seed. They did well, very well, dispersing by any means at their disposal. I should have anticipated that having grown them from seed, they might continue to grow from seed by their own devices.
Modern varieties are bred to have purer colours, to be less invasive, hardier and to repeat flower more prolifically. These alstroemerias were exhibited by Alstroemeria Direct at RHS Tatton Park Flower Show.
I’m sharing them for Cee’s Flower of the Day. Was it the mix of light and shade, the careful arrangement of colours or the natural habit of the plant that made them look painterly?
Beautiful, colorful flowers. Thank you for the photos.
Glad you liked them – thanks for commenting!
