Alstroemeria psittacina
Tuberous perennial with lush, green foliage about 1 to 2 feet tall. From late spring through autumn, 2- to 3-foot tall flower stalks appear, each topped with about 5 to 9 flowers in a radial pattern. The species name psittacina is Latin for "parrot". The plants multiply easily through offsets, eventually forming a large colony.
