Pacific Northwest Gardening: Alstroemerias, 2 by Pistil

last summer I planted two Alstroemerias, one in bright dry shade under a pine tree, one in full sun. They are supposed to like sun, but I think it was Annie's Annuals that said 'The Third Harmonic' will take dry shade (admittedly dry shade in California is quite different from Seattle). Both survived our very cold winter (I got down to 10 degrees, which starts entering zone 7 territory). Here are the blooms which I LOVE. The colors are more complex than I have captured. The one in the shade bloomed for less than a month, but we will see what happens in future. The yellow one has been blooming about 6 weeks, still going strong. Both are a bit floppy, and could use a peony ring next year.
Both are healthy, and not a big slug problem so far. I might try some other varieties. They are both planted in about 6" of commercial bulk 'planting mix' over my native clay.
#1- 'The Third Harmonic', in dry shade
#2- 'Friendship Yellow', in the sun.
