Good for you, Wallaby! Consider it a late birthday present from yourself.

Well, I'm on to other things today. I was browsing a German site and saw some lovely Alstroemeria also called Princess Lilies. I started seaching US sites and they were few and far between. I found Sweet Laura (yellow) and Freedom (pink) at Wayside, but nothing to match the selections at Bakken. Are you familar with these? I wonder why these aren't as available in the US? I gather from reading, that they are widely used by florists everywhere. The florists probably don't want us growing our own.

I did order the two from Wayside, but now have to figure out how to overwinter as, of course, they aren't for my growing zone. So, now I'm off to spend a few hours looking up Alstroemeria culture. Here's a pic of the one I was drooling over at Bakken. Wish I understood German better. Should have paid more attention at school!
