I got hooked on Alstroemeria years ago when we had 'Sweet Laura' growing in the gardens and tried to get a clump of 'Variegata' established. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/78519 We weren't successful with the first attempt of 'Variegata' but I'm happy to report the one I planted last year is already starting to pop out of the ground this spring! We were fortunate to meet Mark Bridgen of Cornell University last year at a Rock Garden Society meeting and purchased two of the new Alstroemerias he's recently introduced which are reported to be a little hardier than most. http://hort.cals.cornell.edu/cals/hort/news-events/20071214_... I don't remember which one this is - still in the pot last August getting ready to be planted and blooming beautifully :)
