Hi Veeja
I have daylilys that i could divide. I'm interested in both, or one. I love alstromeria!!!

I am mostly interested in reds, pinks, peaches. please send me your addy if you would like to trade. Thankyou Carol
Do alstromeria grow in the South? I just love the flowers, but I've never seen them grow here.
Are these perennial in zone 7a?
I have Daylily "Moonlit Masquerade", "Catherine Woodbery" and lots of other plants in trade. Please send me an e-mail.
Shirley, Moonlit Masquerade has been blooming for me for over 2 months. It's one of my favorites! (Don't mean to hijack the thread.)
It's a pur-dy one, ain't it?!
Here is a link to alstro info, it is hardy here in zone 7 but I don't know its limitations hopefully this site will help. here also is a pic of the yellowhttp://www.alstroemeria.com/prod_how.htm
alstromeria
Please remember that alstromeria can become invasive and I do mean invasive in zone 8a. I have tried for years to get this plant out of my flower beds. It is impossible. It produces thousands and thousands of seedlings. Think twice before you plant it. In colder climates it may not present any problems.

WARNING
This is an extremely invasive species. Although it has not yet been widely recognized as an ecological problem, parrotlily has spread into natural areas in western Australia and is likely to do so elsewhere. It is definitely ill behaved in cultivation. It self-seeds vigorously unless the flowers are cut off after blooming. Neglect deadheading or move a few tubers around in the soil and it will spread throughout your garden and haunt you forever. You can pull up every visible shred or even move away and start over with a new landscape. For a time, you may actually believe you have triumphed. But then you'll see that little umbrella of leaves popping up next to a prized plant... Spraying with Roundup just before the plants go dormant will knock parrotlily back, but it will take most of your nearby plants with it - and one or two treatments won't kill all of it.
People baby these things around here, taking them in for the winter, protecting in the summer . . . . And mine died . . . . LOL!

Well, they haven't taken off in south Texas either, lol. Mine are hopefully dormant right now(as opposed to dead). I've found that the new hybrids don't make seeds like the older varieties either. When I picked the pods for a friend, there was only one seed in each pod.
