What flower is this?

9 years ago

I just moved from north Florida to Oklahoma. I had a great flower plant there that survived drought, flood and general neglect. It had dark green leaves with flowers that reminded me of day lilies. I didn't keep the info when I bought it, but it lasted 2 years and flowered a lot.

Can anyone help identify it so I can buy and plant here?

Alstroemeria - many cultivars so if you want exactly that one choose carefully.

I can tell you that they don't care for Oklahoma weather.

I had an orange variety (common) years ago that populated a 4 x 4' area in one season! At first, I thought *How pretty!* Dug them out for about 3 years and finally eradicated them or they would have just kept invading. White fleshy roots from you know where. YMMV!
