          :wow: @Mark56 Brilliant flowers. Looking at mine, I seem to be so amateurish .. Well, I am. This store worker told me that if you could pollinate a new cultivar, you could be in for a lot of money.

              @alp I only spotted the flowers that are out because of this thread. :noidea: They're hidden under the leaves but you can see there are a lot of unopened buds higher up. I like this one because of the darker leaves. They actually look darker than the photo and have a red tinge to them.

              I don't remember planting them and the bed is only two years old :scratch: They may have got there when we transplanted plants to the bed at the time. That bed is 55ft long and is full of transplants. Some from other beds and some from our stock of propagated plants for sale. :blue thumb:

              @shiney Life deals you a hand.. here a good one:Wino:. I only spotted slugs and snails and leafless skeletals in my garden :dunno: A very nice flower to have. A lot of people like them if you advertise them as LONG FLOWERING cut flowers. Hope you have a roaring trade .. :yahoo:

              Indian Summer has a distinctive dark foliage while Roc'n'roll a variegated one. The rest can be pure green like the one shown here. If they had frilly edged alstroemeria flowers, I would be broke.. I have a terrible weakness for frilly edged blooms.. be it oriental poppies, African violets or streptocarpuses. :wub2:

              These animated gifs make me laugh while giving me headache.. :yikes:
