Nursery contributed plant descriptions

We have been working with Alstroemerias for over 10 years and are constantly trying to "improve" colors by selection. Out of a bunch of seedlings from "dark pink", this one with the number III stood out over many years now with extra large flowers(3"), deep pink color, large white zone with only a small yellow zone, giving it a crisp appearance. Downside for us: Extremely slow to propagate, thus just very few a year.
