Abstract
A new variety of Alstroemeria characterized by its relatively small blooms, having a generally overall pink coloration for both its inner and outer petals, the inner petals having short, parallel streaks of a purplish color which extends from the petal base to the tip in a longitudinal manner, the inner petals being more narrow in form and being mainly of the principal pink color with the larger two having a yellowish flush over the base portion of the petals. Each of both the inner and outer petals have a darker pink flush over the central portion of the petal body and at the petal tips. The flowers grow in a rather umbel-like, closely-spaced formation at the ends of straight stems thereby presenting a very attractive, closely spaced grouping of the flower, particularly suited for vase keeping. This new variety of alstroemeria is further distinguished by its strong, vigorous and upright growth habit with the main stems reaching a height up to about 160 cm. and each stem bearing a group of many flowers at its upper end and the plant flowering continuously throughout the year to provide an excellent production habit.
