So how has your week started out? I've had "You Should Be Dancing" stuck in my head all afternoon after reading the song posts. :-)

Rhonda,
Thanks for sharing the pictures! As I said before the pics -
Can't believe I found a yellow blossom Alstroemeria plant for sale, but not inexpensive. I was told those were patented and for florists' cut flowers only. I think we're at the top of Zone 9A.
Alstroemeria 'Freedom' PP 9,393 (Princess Lily)Sun to Part Sun
We are pleased to present this wonderful introduction from the breeding program of Mark Bridgen of Cornell University. A. 'Freedom' boasts similar heat- and cold-tolerance to that of A. 'Sweet Laura'. The winter rosettes of green foliage give rise from June through September to 30" tall spikes of peachy red flowers (RHS 53D), highlighted at the tip of the uppermost two petals with a bold white pattern, speckled with carmine. A. 'Freedom' has proven to be much more of a clumper in contrast to the more common runner, A. psittacina. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml) #04159
Alstroemeria 'Glory of the Andes' (Glory of the Andes Princess Lily)Sun
Web-Only! We are truly excited by this variegated sport of the wonderful A. 'Sweet Laura' that was discovered at Connecticut's Sunny Border Nursery. Each green leaf is edged with a creamy yellow border, adding more interest to an already fabulous perennial. A. 'Glory of the Andes' begins flowering in early July in NC with 30" tall spikes of orange and continues until fall. Even when it's not in flower, A. 'Glory of the Andes' provides great foliage interest in the garden. The longer we grow this, the more impressed we are with this great alstroemeria. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml) #05364
Alstroemeria 'Mauve Majesty' PPAF (Mauve Majesty Princess Lily)Sun to Part Sun
Web-Only! This 2007 introduction from Cornell's Mark Bridgen makes a compact clumper, topped from mid-June through September with 30" spikes that end in rosy-pink flowers, two petals of which are highlighted with a yellow base. Because A. 'Mauve Majesty' makes a tight clump, it is perfect for a small space in a small garden. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml) #08043
Alstroemeria psittacina 'Variegata' (White Edged Princess Lily)Part Sun to Light Shade
