    I've just got back from a walk with this.

    What is it called?

    It was from what looked like a bush. With loads of individual stems about 3 feet high.

    Any help or thoughts would be much appreciated!!!

    Definitely looks like Alstromeria. They come in all colours. I don't think you'll have any problem finding some to grow. And they will stand in a vase for 3 weeks min.
