'Vulcan' is GORGEOUS!!! And such a true red, isn't it irritating when hot pink blooms are sold as red (complete with color enhanced photos). Goodness knows I'd still want whatever knowing it's hot pink, but I'd plant it in a different spot, LOL.

Here's sweet little surprise I had last summer, an Alstromeria that had never bloomed after a couple of years of digging in fall, trying in various containers in various positions, till I finally planted in the ground and left there to freeze out during winter. Low and behold, it not only survived the winter, but bloomed too!
