Abstract

A new Alstroemeria variety characterized by the brightly colored blossoms, the petals of which are bright purple with a yellow striped heart. The plant is early in flowering.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
This new alstroemeria originated as a seedling selected from individual members of breeding stock maintained at Rijnsburg, Holland. The particular seedling was selected by me for propagation and testing because of its blossoms produced on upright stems. Specifically, the inner petals are deep purplish pink with vivid yellow striped hearts on white background (central). The outer petals are solid in deep purplish pink coloring. The inner petals have well defined longitudinal streaks or flecks of deep purplish red while the outer petals are limited to a solid purplish pink coloring. The selected plant was propagated by me at Rijnsburg, Holland through several generations of root divisions to establish that its distinctive characteristics hold true from generation to generation and appear to be firmly fixed.
Breeding efforts commenced in 1977 and propagation is currently being carried out at Rijnsburg, Holland. I discovered the new hybrid in 1981 at Rijnsburg. The nearest variety is the Alstroemeria called Evening Glow and my new variety, Westland, differs from the Evening Glow in that (1) the flowers are larger in size, (2) the petals have fewer stripes, (3) the flower stems are shorter and (4) the leaf color is lighter green.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
This new variety of the Alstroemeria plant is illustrated by the accompanying photograph which shows a blooming umbel of the plant with buds and flowers in various stages of opening.

This plant is particularly noted for the distinctive coloration of its flowers, which coloration does not clearly resemble that of any other Alstroemeria plant previously known to me. Inner petals with deep purplish red flecks on a deep purplish pink background with yellow striped hearts in the central portion on a white background and outer petals with a deep purplish pink coloring make this plant an attractive addition to the Alstroemeria family.
