## Resource

Is there a better-looking, longer lasting, cut flower than the alstroemeria? Is there a more invasive, underground spreading plant than the alstroemeria? Sometimes, to get to heaven, you have to go through a little hell. Also known as the Peruvian Lily, Lily of the Incas, Parrot Lily, Princess Lily, and “How the Heck Did You Get Over to the Other Side of the Garden?”, alstroemerias can easily last two weeks as a cut flower. Longer, if you are conscientious about clean water and floral preservatives (more on that below). This is a public episode.
